I'm sorry folks, but this is another tactic that is scaring people beyond belief! Yes, it's a bad flu virus, and if you get it you will be very ill. BUT the "regular" flu kills thousands, THOUSANDS more people than this virus already has...yet no one is scaring you about that.

Take precautions, sure, but don't go overboard for just this one strain. IDK why the world wants to scare you with their tactics, but they sure are doing a good job. NOT EVEN 1000 people WORLDWIDE have died from this strain total.

Some 36,000 die from regular flu each year in the USA.

BTW the alcohol waterless hand cleaner does nothing much... washing your hands, rubbing them together and drying them works.
Also, carry tissues or handkerchiefs (remember them?) and cough and sneeze into them. Be courteous of others. If you aren't feeling well, and you can move an appointment, do so. (Common sense?)

To put it all into perspective maybe, there was a sign on a door to a business that said if you have a fever, don't enter, or if you don't feel well... the sign was on a HOSPITAL door!

We have enough important things to truly worry about. This isn't one of them, imo.

Be well.
