Medical expert on coronavirus: Don't panic, 'prepare for the worst right now'

Your best chance to avoid getting the coronavirus — or mitigating its effects if contracted — is to start preparing now. With the deadly disease rapidly spreading worldwide, including the potential first round of cases in the U.S. (California), there is no time to waste, health experts say.

“You always have to hope for the best, but you absolutely have to prepare for the worst,” said Dr. Anand Parekh of the Bipartisan Policy Center on Yahoo Finance’s The First Trade.

Parekh served as U.S. Department of Health & Human Services deputy assistant secretary for health from 2008 to 2015.

“I think the critical thing here for the American people is not to panic, but to be prepared,” Parekh added.
