Pitching a giant makeshift tent wouldn't suffice. Ventilation and heating for 5 degrees Wuhan weather.

I agree we should refrain from mass hysteria. Rather, remain vigilant and properly informed. Social media panic has already been unleashed. N95 masks are in short supply and in high demand. This is unfortunate for many holiday travelers.
No results found.
