You can check the stats on the virus here... overall there isn't much to be worrying about especially when you understand that the US is going to be hit nowhere near as hard as Italy due to a significantly lower median population age and significantly fewer smokers.

I'm actually in my cabin in Montana doing some back country skiing this week since all of my flying for the month cancelled.
