### Short term, weeks to a few months - consider limiting travel to areas
with large numbers of infected persons. Wait for more data.
Intermediate term, months to a year - depends on the dynamics of the
epidemic, if it is very contagious, just wait until it comes to you, if
contained, resume activities (perhaps while having a face mask with you at
all times).
Long-term - get the vaccine once it becomes available.
