Besides, if you're that worried about it, just do the maths. Work out your chances of actually dying to this thing. After that work out your chances of dying on the way to work. I'm pretty sure you'll worry about the new corona virus much less then. You might not want to go to work anymore... but that's a different problem

If going to work had a mortality rate of 2%, I would have died ~5 times in the past year.

Going to work hasn't a mortality rate of 2% but getting hit by a car may have such a rate.

It's not as If everyone will get the virus so that you can't assume everyone will be hit by a car.

China has like 250k deadly traffic accidents per year and we have over 1m a year worldwide. As long as this virus won't kill many more you shouldn't be more scared of dying from that than leaving your house to die in a traffic accident.

At least not If you aren't in a chinese area where there are many cases.
