I would just keep watching the situation as it might change tomorrow, the day after, or not at all.
Bottom line, if there is no waiver, would you really travel if you felt unsafe doing so?
I don't feel unsafe traveling as things stand today. As I mentioned I worry about IF things are bad in two weeks. Today is the cutoff to cancel my hotel for free. Out of an abundance of caution I thought it might be prudent to just cancel the hotel and flight now and go another time vs. keeping the hotel booked, then if the situation gets out of hand and I can cancel my flight with a waiver i'll be stuck holding the bag on a very expensive hotel. There's always a chance the hotel would be reasonable if there are extenuating circumstances, but who knows.
