A Tsar Bomba, to start off with.
Nukes everything for miles.
But seriously.
Wash. Your. Hands.
I’d imagine they’re gonna either halt valuation or just do a wide sweep assessment, not sure.

I don't like lonely unpopulated places.
I love places full of people. Rather take me to your busiest mall or township, and I'm very happy.

Basic hygiene.
Wash hands and no licking elevators and phones and random strangers at the PnP.
Jesus the WhatsApp BS That goes around is amazing. My sister got this from some group of a group.
"
This is how people in Canada are informed.
The new NCP coronavirus may show no signs of infection for many days, then how do you know if you are infected?
Latest information says that the incubation period can be up to 20 days before the symptoms of COVID 19 become visible.
When a person has a fever and / or cough and goes to the hospital, the lungs are usually 50% fibrous and it is quite late!
The Taiwan experts offer a simple self-check that we can do every morning;
Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds.
If you successfully complete the exam without a cough, no discomfort, no plumpness or tightness, etc., it will show that there is no fibrosis in the lungs, which basically means no infection.
Please perform a self-test every morning in critical times in a clean air environment!
EXCELLENT ADVICE from Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases.
Everyone should make sure your mouth and throat is moist and never dry.
Take a few sips of water at least every 15 minutes.
WHY ?
Even if the virus gets into your mouth ... drinking water or other liquids flushes it through your esophagus into your stomach.
Once there, the stomach acid kills the virus.
If you don't drink enough water regularly ... the virus can get into your trachea and lungs.
This is dangerous.
Please send this information to your family, friends and everyone you know."

Disregard what he said. Touch and lick everything. Don't wash your hands, it's a waste of effort.
