Thank you for your thoughtful posts! My worries are the same as yours.

I am not terribly worried about getting sick, not yet anyway. However I am worried about the breakdown of other parts of society due to the spread of the virus and the means to prevent its spread.

People are already losing jobs, store shelves are being wiped clean, my own very large company is having serious supply chain issues (which will affect our business, our customers, the market, and so on), events are being cancelled (which is also hurting the economy and endangering employment), not to mention the human toll from sickness and death.

There is going to be a domino effect and there is no telling how long it may last. Also, we could not possibly have any more disastrous leadership in charge of this crisis than we do right now. We'd be better off if there were no politicians involved than if these clowns were running the show. Let the medical and public health experts take over and get the Trump administration as far away from this as possible.
