If it were me in that situation I would put off the CAT scan and appointment on 16th off for 90 days.

It is a personal choice based on trading off risk.

Were there previous CAT scans?
Was the aneurysm stable in previous scans?

90 days from now the medical staff and MD’s you are going to interact with will have probably gotten the virus and recovered, making them much less dangerous to you.

Can you stay virus free for 90 days ?
Unknown, but it is possible.

It is almost certain 90 days from now medical research teams will know a lot more about successfully treating patients.
