short span of time killed 170 people in China and with global travel, is

You can see the latest stats on the Wuhan Coronavirus Cases in the Web.
Wuhan itself has been quarantined and countries like Australia and New Zealand are trying to get their people out of ground zero as the epidemic spreads.

So

For one thing, do not be complacent.
· Wash your hands with soap and water regularly
for at least 20 seconds and dry thoroughly.
· Wear a mask. These
are washable so you won't have to worry about running out. Just make sure
you have a spare to wear while the other is drying out. The virus spreads from
person to person through contact with saliva, like the droplets from a cough or
sneeze so a mask would help prevent these droplets from getting to you.
· Avoid touching your face as your hands may
have touched something airborne droplets containing the virus could have
settled on.
· Avoid crowded places as far as possible.
· Eat and drink nutritious food and get enough sleep as
ultimately, there is no cure for viruses. Antibiotics work on bacteria but not
on viruses. Your body has to be strong enough to fight it off if you are
exposed to it.
