#1 Practical things that can be done at the local level:

1) Lay in a large amount of hand sanitizer. Walgreens now sells quart sized bottles for $4. Also get several 2oz bottles to carry around with you, and to leave in your vehicles in case you forget. This is the single most important precaution you can take. When out in public during the epidemic, sanitize hands about six times a day, and train yourself NOT to touch your face until after you have sanitized.

2) Public businesses of all kinds should be encouraged to keep a large amount of complimentary hand sanitizer at their entrance and cashier registers. They might also pass out inexpensive dust masks (5-10 for $1) to their customers and employees, instead of the far more expensive loop masks. This will strongly help reduce public contamination.

3) It should be suggested to city governments that they set up a phone bank, to systematically call every phone number in the city with information, to get information, and to streamline emergency services.

4) Inexpensive latex and rubber gloves will also be a shortage item that should be pre-purchased. Remember that the gloves can also be contaminated, so you should still use hand sanitizer when wearing them. If no gloves are available, use gallon sized plastic bags.
