Travel and the Coronavirus

I have a cold which makes it very uncomfortable to travel by air.  Now with the coronavirus outbreak in China which is spreading all over Asia, the major airports are on alert.  I can remember when I traveled to China before during the Avian flu outbreak, there were people in the airport with a hand held device that looked similar to a policeman's radar detector.  The device was pointed at my forehead and since I didn't have a fever, I was allowed to pass through.

The coronavirus is spreading very quickly with a couple of confirmed cases already in the United States and several others being watched.   I was in the middle of finalizing plans for a trip to Singapore next month when the news of the outbreak hit international news.  Needless to say, I am not going to Singapore now.  I can't afford to get exposed, get quarantined and get stuck in a foreign country.  If I were traveling on business and it was absolutely necessary, then that would be another matter.

I believe that I am going to wait a while before I travel abroad again.  The world has become a global marketplace with people from every country traveling around the world daily.  I am not a scary traveler but I do believe in being careful and not taking unnecessary chances with my health.  I have already paid for a cruise at the end of next month, but it is a Carribean cruise.  
I will be staying alert to future outbreaks.  Hopefully, things will be contained by then.  If not, I may not be going on my cruise either.


I wonder how this epidemic will affect countries that are heavily dependent on tourism for survival.  As for me, I will be staying home for a while until more is known and the epidemic is under control.

Enjoy your evening.
