"How can I help protect myself?
CDC advises that people follow these tips to help prevent respiratory illnesses:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, and help young children do the
same. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol‐based hand sanitizer.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze then throw the tissue
in the trash.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact, such as kissing, sharing cups, or sharing eating utensils, with sick
people.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs."

Taking Redneck Jim's advice. they should add,
- Don't screw camels.
