Forget the hospital. I elbow any elevator button if possible, and try not to touch any doorhandles with my bare hands in any public space.
You don’t know who’s carrying what, or what they touched last.

More to come, for sure.
"The patient, a woman in her 60s and a Chicago resident, had traveled to Wuhan, China, in December. She was admitted to the hospital and is in stable condition, according to Illinois health officials. "

Does anyboby know how communication from government to the population related to the Coronavirus is handled in China? Do the use an emergency notification system (www.rapidreach.com) or do they just expect people to update them self?
The government controls all radio and television channels. Police officers, public health officials and local Communist Party officials, etc, can go door to door. (Even villages have a Party committee.) I’d be surprised if they can’t send messages to every mobile phone or every Weibo user’s timeline.
I’ve been meaning to make an emergency kit. I don’t have much food but I have bottled water stocked up + cash in case card networks went down because I was watching too much mr robot. Any other suggestions to keep around?

And @anon2148050 a good supply of a variety of good quality batteries, and perhaps radios/flashlights that can be powered in other ways (ones that crank, maybe). Dried foods?

Easiest thought process is, what would you lack if you cant get to the store for 7 days? 10 days? 2 weeks? What if the power goes out? Cover that and you are good (as good as you can be anyway) regardless of stressor, be it storm, earthquake or plague. And yeah, batteries are always a good idea!
