The U.S. has just exceeded 1,000. 1,025 at 11:30 PM. I think the "good" out come now is that people are aware this is legit. Not enough testing has been done so we don't know the extent. But as large events cancel and people take precautions around others and increase sanitization, it will the progress will slow down. If it slows enough, the huge expected burden on the health care system may not peak as soon or as hard. As some get the virus, survive and have immunity, the herd immunity becomes a buffer to its spread because at that point some of the people coming in contact with the virus are immune to it. In the early stages no one is immune, that is why it's important to try to slow this on the front end as much as possible. The absolute best thing one could do right now, is stay home when you can, don't make unnecessary trips to public places and wash hands and wipe down surfaces. That will slow the spread overall. The Nat guard in NY is going to be bringing food to folks among other things. I think in the next week a lot more schools and other public places will close as a precaution to the extent that they can more events and gatherings will be cancelled. Employers should allow people to work from home to the extent that they can. Stay safe. One thing to think about if you are younger and healthier, if you have older friends or relatives you could help them out by grocery shopping for them so they can cut their degree of exposure.

And martial law will be declared when? The PTB in the background probably have a list of moves and changes standing by at any one time, basically unrelated to events like the virus, but taking advantage of the opportunity should martial law be declared, without most knowing anything about it.

My wife wants me to stay home and not go to work. She watches me like a hawk at home. Can’t do anything “normal” for me.
I’m going to work until further notice.

This might be a good time to open up a funeral parlor.

This might be a good time to open up a funeral parlor. I hear that people are just dying to get in.

If I die from the Coronavirus, I bequest my reading eyeglasses to Gruntbrain so he can improve the quality of his morning shaves.
