What not to do - behave like the comments at this NP column:

Assuming a two-week incubation period, why not stop direct flights from Wuhan now?

Guy feeling Is that the situation is far worse in China than reported by the CPC, as you don’t just quarantine 51 million people or ban travel without reason.

Edit: Oh, and you don’t normally cancel Chinese NY celebrations- that’s like cancelling Christmas.

We had ISIS Canada (Intelligent Sensing For Innovative Structures). They changed their name to Simtrec (Structural Innovation and Monitoring Technologies Resource Centre). I thought they should have just changed their name to ISMIS as it would have been easier to memorize with just the minor alteration.

Charming thought, tangentially related:

Ancient viruses never observed by humans discovered in Tibetan glacier

Melting ice from climate change could release the pathogens into the environment, one researcher said, calling it a "worst-case scenario."
