I agree with the poster who said this will most likely turn out not to be as bad as it is being played out.

In 2012 the Smith Mundt Act was repealed making propaganda legal, you have to do some critical thinking and not just listen to the media(which thrives on fear).
Few are looking for an all or nothing solution. Staying home and getting takeout food delivered will eliminate contact with waitstaff and other customers and also eliminate physical contact with possible virus bearing public surfaces which may harbor harmful cells for up to nine days. Yes, there will still be a couple of people involved in the food preparation itself but that may be offset by otherwise needing to go into a store to buy the contents of meals you would be preparing yourself and subjecting yourself to those people and facilities.

The Fed will attempt to make sure it flows to neither extreme, but the most danger lies in deflation at the moment. Commodity prices are LOW. If the business environment doesn't improve shortly, cuts are sure to follow.
