In times of economic turbulence, revisions to GDP data can be sizable, which makes conducting economic policy in real-time during a crisis more difficult.

Applying this to data from the Great Recession explains some of the massive GDP revisions at that time. This could provide a guide for possible revisions to GDP releases during the current coronavirus crisis.
