The virus can be transmitted to another person without the infected person showing any symptoms. Symptoms may not show up until 14 days.

For now, Hota said, if you’re coughing or exhibiting other symptoms, it’s more likely you have another common cold or flu — not this new coronavirus.

“We’re still seeing a good amount of flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is another common respiratory virus this time of year,” she said.

“There are more than 200 respiratory viruses that tend to circulate this time of year. You’re much more likely to get one of those infections than this novel coronavirus right now in this area.”

To protect yourself, you should do the same kinds of things that you would do for any virus, according to the WHO: avoiding close contact with infected people, washing your hands frequently, and practising good cough etiquette — meaning covering your mouth and coughing into your elbow, rather than toward other people.

You know what, fellas? I’m not the type that scares easily but after work last night, I decided to drive down Roosevelt just to see what was out and two different providers at two different locations were outside their spa hack coughing and I ended my search immediately. The chances of them having the coronavirus are low but if anyone on that street has it, they would. It’s not going to be Maria from El Salvador. It’s going to be Mei Mei from Wuhan. All it takes is one exposure.
I think I’ll lay low for a couple of weeks and just fire up pornhub.

This whole cororavirus is just hype. You can get it from a common cold.
You can get another strain of Coronavirus, and the Common cold, or together. This strain is not hype because it's highly contagious and if your immune system is weak, it can kill. But you are right in that the common flu is deadlier.

Flights are stopping to China. Americans that have traveled to wuhan need to be quarantined for 14 days. Americans who have been in China will be self quarantined for 14 days. Chinese who are not citizens of America from China are not allowed to visit US. People who have visited China are not allowed in the US.

Just caught flu yesterday after getting over cold. My fever is back down but I was strongly considering going to the ER to get IV since I've been dehydrated.

Probably not Wuhan, not much coughing just typical sore throat without much mucous, body pain and average fever.

I think I'm going to start wearing surgical mask in the subway. I wash my hands religiously and moisturizer after. Not enough.

I'm not ready to get taken out just yet. I got the pneumonia shot in 2013 I hope that still works for regular non Wuhan pneumonia.

It's really this March in January weather that gets me. Too warm one day and a freezing chill the next. I can't handle the wild swings...

Probably did NOT catch from AMP. Think about staying away from bars and restaurants. They have much more traffic than AMP and are prime incubators for this shit.

Hey so question, what if you have a layover in Wuhan, China. Are they quarantining those people as well? Asking because I'm suppose to have a 6 hour layover in Wuhan, but I'm guessing if they're restricting the area the flight will be redirected.

I would seriously ask the US Consulate about this. Chances are you will be in a safe quarantined area during the layover, meaning absolute minimum exposure. But the decision is determined by US Customs when you arrive back.
