Don't buy after the first big city is quarantined. Maybe after the second or third... But know you are taking an incredible risk unless you are using funds you can hold in that position for years.

Isn't that the case whenever one buys equities? Why is now special? It's definitely less risky to buy now than it was in January.

Yes, but I don't want to be the source of somebody doing something stupid.
