I’d advise you not to transit through China for the time being. Not so much because of risk of contracting the virus which I think is quite small; but to avoid any hassle on return to the USA which may be quite substantial. Also there is the chance that your TAO-US flight gets cancelled and you get stuck in China. Definitely not fun.
