The Senate has proclaimed you dictator.  You have total power.  All laws are suspended.

What do you do?

Marshal Law restricting intrastate travel, price fixing, widespread testing, deploy all medical assets in DOD, stop travel in and out,

1)  Have every disloyal Senator executed and replaced with a loyalist, to make sure I'll stay a dictator.  I'd rather fully focus on eradicating the COVID-19 rather than worry about my dictatorial powers being rescinded by opportunists once the crisis appears to be on the decline.
2)  Declare nationwide quarantine for several weeks.  The exact length would be determined after consulting with the BC CDC.
3)  Draft volunteers to keep the crucial systems running and deliver all the necessities to the people stranded in their homes.  Keep them quarantined in their own barracks, and make them wear protective gear when interacting with the regular citizens.  Give them a medal in the end if they survive.
4)  Blacklist any other country that does not adopt my plan, or any country that does not blacklist the countries I blacklisted.  Blacklisted countries would be blocked from all travel to and from until my plan is adopted.

1) Tax all foreigners living abroad
2) The end

Call up National Guard/Army and cordon areas where there has been infection.  Make testing and care for corona virus free.  When resources become available for it, make testing mandatory inside the cordoned areas.  Inside cordoned areas prohibit travel as much as possible and us military assets to deliver food and supplies to people at their homes and provide transport for people who must leave their homes (for things like medical emergencies).  When everyone has been tested in each area, lift the cordon and move resources to the next area.  Oh and maybe shoot DGuller in case someone tries to give him dictatorial powers.

This is not realistic.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Grammar, spelling, punctuation, all rules are suspended.

I'd shut everything down except food, utilities, medical.

Test everyone.  Once everyone in an area checks out, open businesses back up.  Once contiguous areas check out, allow travel between them.

Send everyone a check to handle necessities.

Freeze loan repayments.
