Disclosure: None
CDC, WHO, and DHHS have been diligent about broadcasting updates; however, no one is listening at the local levels, certainly local public health depts (which are too busy cutting services and in general confusion); or the general public which won’t pay attention until bad things happen – or CDC, etc determine a way to raise concern without panicking folks.
the messages have been too soft thus far.

2. The health education towards preventive measures through media in simple practical language……
3. Importance of hand washing need to be highlighted more than anything else
4. people have to be explained the natural course of disease.
