“A risk to the public is low at this time”. Until
It’s not. Heard this when SARS hit while living in Hong Kong and heard it with Covid. Time to buy some masks, just in case. The promising thing is I don’t believe it’s contagious until there are symptoms.
The bad thing is, the incubation period is long and then it begins with flu like symptoms before going respiratory. So, you might just assume you have the flu and not isolate.
