The purpose of dispensing this information is to give accurate information.
Do not panic, but you may need to clean surfaces more often (for a longer time) and don't stop your hand cleaning routines.

Today on our local Florida news, they were skyping with a gentleman named Gene, who is sequestered at home because he has the Coronavirus. He likened it to a bad cold; and said that meds that alleviate the symptoms made it tolerable. His biggest fear is passing it to his wife and children. All in all, he seemed none the worse for having it, IMO. He has to go to the local hospital every day to be tested; 2 negative tests in a row means he is "clean". He said he doesn't even get out of the car - they meet him in the parking lot for the test.
It was nice to hear a first-hand account of how I presume *most* people will fare.
