Re: Oh my goodness -- the US administration is thrashing?
Of course not, and that's not what they meant.
Wash your hands - with soap, while muttering or humming whichever 20sec sequence helps you.
Clean surfaces.
Avoid casual close contact. Don't shake hands, don't kiss, etc.
Above all, don't panic.
If you go out and stockpile all the soap, then someone else will have none. Then they will spread it, perhaps to someone whose body can't handle the infection. That someone might be you, or someone you love.
