Btw, I'm hearing the only way to stop the spread of this outbreak is by plunging a metal spike into the inner cortex of one of the infected. Otherwise, do not approach, I repeat: do NOT approach.

A hanky will also be useful.
I was told it a "wet" hanky was more effective.

Back during the SARS/bird flu outbreak - there was a run on those 3M paper masks - for people flying to Asia from NZ - chemists were cleaning up.

And you'd see people lining up to check in and boarding the flights wearing said masks. Thing is - if you read the fine print, the masks were only effective at repelling air-borne bacteria/dust/KILLERVIRUSES!!!! for approximately 3 hours.

Which doesn't make much sense - when these potential victims were getting on board a 10 hour flight to Bangkok.

Also - all these potential victims would of course lift the soul-protecting paper mask to their head when their tray of highly ionized food was brought to their seat.

KILLER VIRUS!!! FLYING PIGS!!! HYSTERIA!!

ARMEGGEDON IT.

Where's that one-armed drummer when I really need one?
