Pinging doctoravios and trublue

I have one question which might be outside of your direct expertise, but you so far have provided very valuable information.

Because we already entered into mitigation/delay the spread stage, what ordinary people can do to help to slow down the spread before reaching the phase of area/state/country lockdown? Apart from personal hygiene and consciously avoiding unnecessary travel?

Can people volunteer at local hospitals to help offloading overworked nurses and doctors? Or to do something else useful?

I guess Civil Defense classes would be highly useful, but when I had them (>40 years ago, behind the Iron Curtain), it was mostly told what to do during nuclear/chemical/biological attack... Civil defense during pandemics were never part of the course...

Ideas?
