How is Coronavirus Affecting Your Hiring or Your Job Hunt?

I'm located in a Midwestern US city with an emerging tech community. Since leaving my previous job in December, I'm getting back into the job hunt for fulltime or contract work. Through most of my career, I worked remotely and travelled a fair amount for periodic code jams, conferences, etc.

I have been looking at positions locally, but they are primarily lead positions that require being colocated, not to mention in-person interviewing. Alternately, most of the remote jobs are on the coasts and would require travel for interviews. Neither prospect seems really prudent right now, and I'm debating just trying to get by a little longer.

As SXSW is cancelled, the NBA is suspending play, etc, I wonder how the Coronavirus is affecting your ability to hire or find your next gig?

Update March 25th: I originally posted this March 12th as things were still very much in the air, at least in the US. This question is starting to get some traction as of last night. Personally, I'm now considering short term contracts below my usual pay, however even that seems pretty dry right now. I do have some personal projects I am focused on.
