FYI the airlines have put a travel waiver out in some areas. It's airline specific but it allows passengers to reschedule or cancel and apply the ticket to another trip. Italy is under travel waivers now.

Agreed...refundable travel plans and/ or trip insurance that doesn't have exclusion for it would probably be prudent.
Of course, the prices of those add-ons have likely been adjusted preemptively.
From what I’ve read it is virtually impossible to get general travel insurance that includes pandemics.
I know there are “any reason” policies but they’re basically going to cost you nearly as much as the trip itself.

I've never shopped such things but I believe you.
They aren't out to make deals in your favor, are they?
Patient zero in CA has just died today from community transfer of the Coronavirus.
A mid-50’s woman without any relevant travel history or any contact with known persons.
Oregon also just had their first Coronavirus patient from what appears to be community transfer.
This is serious as it is spreading world-wide and and there is no cure or vaccine that will take a year
or longer to develop. Older persons are highly susceptible to contracting this virus. Everyone needs
to see the movie, Contagion (2010). It illustrates how easily and rapidly virus contamination can spread.
The economic consequences of this virus will extend into the summer months and possibly longer. Let’s
pray the Coronavirus never exceeds the epidemic scale and never reaches or becomes pandemic.

I think study of the ‘Spanish flu’ epidemic at the end of WW1 (before the existence of ‘global’ air travel) might be revealing. Returning soldiers (confined in crowded troop ships) likely helped spread the virus.
Check your source.
Well I down a few Corona Beers before starting play, as I understand they help build immunity........LOL:shocked2:
Yes the worlds probably coming to an end, like the black plague.
In the meantime more people will die in car wrecks in a month than
from this bs in a year.
You got it right
Think it will be done come summer, based on prior flu cases. Hope so anyway. LATEST I heard is washing hands helps more than masks.
Governor Jay Inslee Declares a State of Emergency in Washington
I unintentionally misrepresented the identity of the 1st Coronavirus death.
The death was a man in his 50’s in Washington State. Gov. Jay Inslee has
declared a state of emergency in Washington. A health care center for senior
has 2 cases of community infections. A 70’s year old woman patient & a staff
member. 52 others are showing COVID-19 symptoms (27 patients & 25 staff
members). This is not the normal flu. The morbidity stats are frightening. The flu
virus is like 0.05% whereas the Coronavirus has been much, much more deadly.
Just look at what is happening overseas and the different morbidity rates. Pretty
much anyone that is a health official is telling us this is not your common cold.

Damn it Eric.
We are living in the era of 'headlines only knowledge'.
Research and self edumacation are no longer on the expectation list, they have been moved to the wish list.
Did you not get the memo?
:thumbup:
Few people are equipped emotionally to survive in isolation for long periods. Luckily I have always been one of those.
My table is scheduled for recovering, but if a global pandemic delays the work, then, ‘no big deal’, as my ancient/30 yr. old Simonis 760 still plays quite well, considering.
As long as UPS can still find healthy delivery personnel, I’ll likely survive, though the supply of fresh green produce DOES concern.
I guess America might soon find out what risk/consequences their dependence on cheap Chinese products may involve?
