As an aside, are we expecting POTUS to declare a National Emergency on this. I know the Dems are wanting it, and I can see both benefits and drawbacks.
On the plus side: it would free up federal resources to states as preventative measures, activate the EAS to allow Presidential messages to be sent to phones and media, and would give him more power to act than in ordinary circumstances.
On the downside:it invokes fear and panic, gives the left the narrative that he's become a dictator, and would serve to harm the markets even worse than they've already been damaged.
