I agree that the major news networks are sensationalizing the virus thing, but I also have seen several things about ways to keep healthy in these uncertain times. ( I watch local news from back north, Washington DC local news, and others).

My biggest concern is that there will not be an effective immunity to COVID 19. Just because someone has developed antibodies, doesn't mean they are immune. The NIH is still researching how long any immunity will last. For example, for some diseases, immunity is lifelong, and in others its only a few weeks. Too much is not known about this new virus, So I will wear a mask and avoid people who are NOT wearing one to reduce my chances of developing it.
I will wait, NOT for a vaccine, but for more effective treatment modalities, before I will feel comfortable in large crowds again.
