>What exactly do you think can be done to stop a "potential" virus we know nothing about - stay home and lock the doors?<

Not much you can do. Wash your hands after being in public, and stay away from large crowds. Not much else you can do. I was posting cause people think it can't happen again, which is head in the sand thinking.

I had norovirus about 2 years ago, a very nasty virus. Does not die with alcohol hand cleaners, only washing your hands will prevent it, and not eating food that someone who has it prepared the food, is what I think happen to me when I got it.

So after shopping and I get home I wash my hands. If I eat a bag of potato chips I wash my hands first. Have never been sick with it since then, and hope to never get it ever again. Your body does not produce antibodies, you can get norovirus over and over.
