Got some bad news about your wife.
...Jokes aside, just reassure her that youre doing everything you can to remain safe. Assure her that hundreds of other airline employees are in your boat but are still remaining safe, and that you value your family and are doing the same. That infection levels amongst your airline still remain low. That you are not worried about yourself but ARE worried about accidentaly infecting your family. That you are going everything possible to ensure shes safe. That you realize this is just a temporary low, and there will, eventually, be highs too.
If you need to, just call sick and see if she calms down 2 weeks from now. Its not worth the fight, just let it happen.

Since the start of the year there have been 14 million deaths worldwide. 14 thousand of those have been from coronavirus, mostly people in their sixties or older and mostly with significant preexisting illness(es).
People should take prudent steps to minimize risk for the sake of the public health of our parents and grandparents but they also need to stop scaring themselves to death.

I’m more concerned with a list of people who have tested positive in the company that we recently have flown with... (I know HIPPA Laws) I wonder if such list will surface or if the company will reach out to those who may have been in contact or operated the same flights as you. I know we have some crews who have tested positive.

Whether it's the flu or covid19, you should be isolating yourself from other family members anyway. At the very least wear a mask, maybe even wear gloves. If the OP has immediate family members, as in living in his house who are at high risk, then isolate to a room.
As for the ultimatum, if she can't handle sane solutions, I'd run through the door and give her a big kiss. That way she can have a mild cold with you and the problem is solved. 😉

Do the powers that be really believe in the staying six feet away and no groups of 10+ limit? Airlines are still trying to fill up aluminum tubes.
Can't go to church because of health risks, but BWI-DEN round trip in the middle of the night makes perfect sense.

See if you are in a group of 9 people, your body’s immune system can ward off the Coronavirus, however if it senses that more people have joined your group—say 11, now then your body knows this and it’s Corona deflectors are reduced.
or if you don’t believe in that theory then maybe it’s perfectly fine to infect 8 other people with the virus but 12 would be unacceptable.
