This doctor says to get out if you can safely:

Damn. What is safe though? Is it safe to rent a car? Better to drive across the country and stay with family, where healthcare systems aren't crumbling? Or find a random cabin upstate NY to rent, but risk access to healthcare?

Yeah, good questions. I'd say if you already have a car, probably reasonably safe to make your way to it and drive somewhere. But renting, hmm not so sure.

Also, staying with family has its risks. Maybe someone is infected but asymptomatic.

Sorry man, I don't have much advice for you. Best of luck.

Whatever you decide to do, think it through, preferably with some other brains involved. Don't rush. As others have said, you're reasonably safe inside where you are now.

Thank you :)
