Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

I’m going to a gig in Brighton tonight. Does that mean I’m done for?

And should I wear a mask?

Lots of people saying: “Pah! Masks don’t do anything!”. While others say wearing a mask can reduce the risk of catching the virus.

masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness).
