I'm quite worried, but there's not much I can do about it other than, perhaps, stocking up on dry and canned goods in case the viruis arrives in force and people are told to stay home.

I don't have a link handy, but I was both amused and reassured when the Minnesota Department of Health, maybe a week or two ago, issued a series of guidelines basically saying what they'd tell people to do if the virus actually arrived. They did not explicitly say either "We got you" or "We know the Trump administration has gotten rid of a lot of the experts who could handle things at the federal level, but in Minnesota, we definitely know what we're doing," but there was some strong subtext.
