Planes being grounded due to the coronavirus

I have a flight leaving Grand Rapids Michigan Thurs 3/18. Has anyone heard if we are in danger of planes being grounded due to the virus?

I haven't seen any announcements from Southwest (I'm a customer too) though federal officials have said they haven't ruled anything out.  Best advice I think for everyone is to be on the lookout for changes and to stay flexible.  Have a backup plan in case something changes.

IMO you'll be fine for a flight 2 days from now.

 

If there is some virus related grounding, I suspect it will be done with a bit of notice. Maybe a week of two. Of course all bets would be off if the federal government dictates other wise.
