I think I've convinced myself to buy some non-perishable food and order more water jugs. Hopefully we don't have to use it.

Having some non-perishable food and water stocked up should be helpful, I don't think it's too unreasonable to assume that shipments of goods would be adversely affected.
Could be, with the large Chinese population. The lunar new year ended a while ago though, so we might've just somehow got lucky.
If you pressure them enough I'm sure they'll cave, if any resistance is put up. Hell, they might even mandate it.

I'm pretty certain they will. Our company doesn't even have desks with name tags on them and many are scattered across the country. I also worry about some of the clients we have to go to.
It is a little interesting how no cases have been reported in NYC despite the large Chinese-American population.

shane was the only character i could relate to.
Well, the same things you can do with a normal flu - keep your immune system well with good sleep, nutrition, exercise. Avoid places where there are many people as much as you can.
+ keep in mind that for a week or two panic might hit when the first clusters of cases are found in your area, so it is not a bad idea to have some food, water and medical supplies in hand.

the health minister... COVID-19 got no chill
