When do we star wearing our flu gear?

Sooner the better

Realistically

4 days ago.

You're not wearing at least a surgical mask right now?

soon as the tomato plants come in!

If you think it's a brewing crisis and are scientific about it, you would be treating everyone as a carrier right now.

Especially in cities that receive China flights.. ground zero USA.

NOW.

I wore a mask in the grocery store today, and gloves.
No one looked at me funny or asked any questions.
No one panicked, it was just another day.

If you want to wear protection, do it.

If you don't want attention, run errands at 2am.

If you work a job around people and can't wear protection.. keep distance, hand sanitize, ready your vacation days for when it's time.

Whenever you start going delirious from lack of doom porn.

Realistically, as soon as the apparatus is secured.

Straight away! As in right now! But it needs to be the full hazmat

Spacesuit to work and be GTG!
