What do you suggest I do to not get infected and if I do get infected what do you suggest I do not to get reinfected?
Follow all advice for avoiding a flu. Act as if you have a weak immune system. Boost it up whenever you start to feel sick or sneeze. Adopt the customs of the Chinese who have been living at ground zero for decades. Wear nitrile gloves when touching possibly infected things. Wear masks outside at all times. Etc. Etc. Clean yourself up. Stick alcohol swabs where they make you scream like a banshee. Oh wait. That is from a different subject. Our CDC/P should have been preaching prevention for two months now. Now after doing all that, you have to kick it up another notch if you want even more protection. Eye goggles. N98 or N99 masks etc. Etc. This thing is airborne and super tiny. The rich no doubt have giant positive pressure bubbles and full level 4 biohazard suits. Bit ye cannae wear they hings a’ day captain. (Scottish slang translated) lol.
“What do you suggest I do to not get infected”
Since you asked, here’s my take. You’re more than welcome to accept it, reject it, or call me a 4-letter word. Keep in mind that I have no medical training, and therefore I’m open-minded about medical-related issues, and willing to think for myself.
1) Viruses are not as contagious as people think. For example, if virus particles are detected on a door knob a week after being deposited, they’re not going to hurt anyone. Viruses are TINY, and given atmospheric circulation, I suspect that everyone breathes some of this Coronavirus every day, along with many other deadly viruses. But we don’t get sick, because we breathe far too little - our immune systems make minced-meat of them without skipping a beat. If every contact we had with viruses was deadly, all animal life on Earth would be long gone.
2) But there is a critical concentration of the virus, which is function of both how many particles we take in, and over what period of time - obviously meaning that people taking in a lot over a shorter period are at greater risk of reaching that tipping point.
3) The tipping point will vary, based on health, age, and possibly ethnicity.
4) So the question is how to keep clear of the tipping point.
5) The answer is above - which is to minimize exposure and potential exposure. Unfortunately, there’s no way to know who’s infected or how much they’re spraying out the virus, but it is possible to know who’s more likely to be infected.
6) At this point, it’s Italians, Iranians, and of course Asians. It’s not they’re bad people or something, but it’s simply more likely they’ve been back to their ‘old country’ recently, or have been with/near those who have been back. As other countries/groups show up, then also try to stay clear of them.
7) Say clear of all others, to the extent practical. At work, maybe move back a few feet if you’ve been close to someone for a while (if possible). When shopping, go during off-hours. My wife will probably not survive this thing, so we only go off-hours. While she doesn’t like waking up early, she loves the empty, and near-empty, stores! Needless to say, we’re not about to get on an airplane, to anywhere, nor a cruise ship, nor a bus, or subway.
8) Likewise, minimize things are easy to minimize. Get takeout from McDonald’s, or other restaurants...don’t eat inside. Try to stay clear of lines when possible (hence the reason we spent the past month prepping...to beat the rush).
9) But don’t get panicked about germs everywhere, on everything, you’ll end up like Howard Hughes (paranoid)...and they’ll still get cha. If someone sneezes, then yes, get away - but otherwise, it’s just people speculating that a door handle will kill you.
Anyway, that’s my take, since you did ask.
