The shut down orders have come from mayors and governors, so only they can reverse that decision. Obviously, NYC is in no shape to open up any time soon. I doubt any large city will. Albany, GA is a hot spot as a small city. Few people will be willing to fly obviously even if the planes are nearly empty.
I think that hand washing is perhaps the most critical step. A friend who is a nurse practitioner posted an interesting piece about how wearing gloves can be bad if you are not trained in the protocol. I worry a lot about our health care workers coming down with this in larger numbers.
