Not much other than staying out of the Chinese market.
Only case here so far is in Boston, but some could show up in Worcester/ Worcester county sooner or later.
I live in the country in a town of 4,000, have little contact with anyone.
My shopping is limited to certain stores, can change if cases start to show up locally, that is in a 20 mile radius.
If things get bad, I will just close up and not leave my home until it has all blown over.
Thanks for your replies. I am just trying to get a pulse on what other like minds are thinking. I am in Canada and a very good distance from all confirmed cases thus far, however have taken some preparation measures over the past week and trying to gauge if we went overkill or not. Would rather have though than to have not, on this unknown and developing situation..
There are a few threads about it you may get the pulse from.

As for me, I’m stocking up on quite a bit more food, this weekend.

Not concerned at all.
Retired, and living rurally. Haven't been to the city since I quit work almost 4 years ago.
Now, if I lived in a big city, or still commuted to one for work, I'd pay more attention.

I’m in really good shape, but I always think I could improve in lots of areas. If more infections start to show up here in the USA I will increase food and dog food stocks. I’ve been thinking of purchasing more antibiotics. Antibiotics have no effect against viruses, but I read where we import most of our drugs from factories around the Wuhan area. Antibiotics may become scarce in the near future.
We're well stocked up on medical supplies. But for right now it's not really something to worry about, just another situation to keep an eye on.
