I think it has the potential to turn into a problem, but I'm not that worried yet (and I am a health professional). The cases in the US have been pretty mild so far, as opposed to in Mexico where it has been a lot worse for whatever reason. Overall, I think it's something to keep an eye on but no need to panic at this point--just take sensible precautions like washing your hands (it's smart to carry a little bottle of alcohol gel in your purse), keeping away from people who are coughing or sneezing if possible, eating well/exercising/getting enough sleep, and staying home if you're sick. Things we should all be doing anyway. As for antibacterial soap, forget it! Regular soap is just fine and doesn't have the issue of possibly contributing to resistant bugs. I think we have gone overboard with disinfecting everything (that said, it is still a good idea to do so when somebody has been sick!).
