The [N95] 1870 masks are better than the [N95] 1860, but are very expensive and hard to get

I don't think anyone really knows the transmission method yet HL, although I read of at least one case where it was caught by someone in the same hospital as the original patient but in a completely different ward.

We'll just have to keep ears to the ground until the WHO discovers something definite and hope they do it before any major epidemic...
