The new coronavirus from Wuhan, China has been spreading. President Donald Trump has assured Americans that the country is “very, very ready” to face whatever threat the disease poses head on. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, however, have warned that it’s not a matter of “if,” but “when,” and have suggested that quarantines may become necessary as more COVID-19 or “novel coronavirus” cases are detected.
While no one should panic while you’re stuck in quarantine, it’s a good time to keep up on your own preparation at home as well.
