I guess American will begin storing their aircraft at Roswell if they already haven't.

You guessed it:

It sounds like soon there will be almost all airplanes, regardless of company, sitting on the ground rather than fly nearly empty. We need to keep some cargo flights going, if not to bring our economy to its knees faster!

Flights (fast mass movement of infected people) started of all this. In Finland (January) Chinese tourists were allowed in Lappland because "quarantine would have affected tourist economy". Also, tons of people came back from ski vacation in the Alps in February, bringing the virus here. There was even one doctor skiing there who came back from Austria, then got back to work and the possibly infected 30 other doctors on the first day because he did not think to quarantine himself for two weeks as officials instructed. Let's see how much we pay now and with how many lives are taken because the cheap flights and fun abroad. (Sorry for the rant)

I was out riding around today, went past a non-towered GA airport in a town of 35,000 people and saw a group of Embraer 175s in storage. I've never seen commercial planes at that airport, let alone being stored.
