Ok..the virus is here,what to do?

Hello all,
It seems the Coronavirus is here and I wish all those infected a speedy recovery.
So exactly what do we do..the advice is confusing.
Do we need to buy some surgical masks and would you wear them or feel a bit of a dork walking around with them on,especially when the virus is not here in our town yet and I say yet.
I think the Government should do a Public Announcement and tell people exactly what is happening and how to look after yourself and family when going to and from work,at work or shopping.
Maybe print leaflets for everyone.
Plus I think they should provide the masks and gloves.
I am not worried just concerned about as I think as long as folks are sensible then it hopefully will die out.But then you always get those who refuse to listen and think its their absolute right to do as they please(under normal circumstances that's fine) and they are the ones who scream the loudest when they fall ill.
So ladies are you taking precautions.
