Anyone canceling trips due to Corona virus?

I've got several trips planned, and some are at music festivals, so I'm trying to decide what to do. I see SBySW has cancelled, and afraid there will be more to do the same.
We just got our first case in Memphis today.

  • Cancel reservations? I can't even make reservations as all the AZ state parks are full. Snowbird season here.
  • Cancel RV trips? No. No reason. Flight to Japan in September? That remains to be seen.
  • I will be leaving in 5 weeks for a 7,000 mile, 3 month long trip to Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota. Unless something drastic happens in those areas I will still be going.
  • Just watched Dr Fauci and he says:
    1) mortality rate still not known exactly but probably in the 0.5 or even lower range not over 1%. Possibly 0.1%.
    2) The folks that mostly need to be concerned are those over 70 with other serious health problems. They should minimize social contact. Most certainly STAY off CRUISE SHIPS and probably avoids crowds in a closed space, aka air craft flights.
    3) Testing is ramping up quickly will be over 4,000,000 tests kits distributed by the end of next week

    He didn't say but just use common sense, don't shake hands, wash your hands frequently after social contact.

    So no we aren't changing plans, going to an Andre Rios concert next week. And planning on camping at the end of the month. Subject to change of course based on new info.
  • I plan on doing all my planned camping trips this year to the state parks in WA state... But, I don't fly anyway, and I did not have any cruise ship plans and I don't care to be in Seattle, so won't be going there anyway...

    Can't afford any of the local sports venues, so no worries there either. I'll just watch on TV in my own "suite"..

    I'll just practice the same hygiene practices that have gotten me thru my 56 years of life so far... (aka: common sense)

    Panic if you must.. Horde groceries if you must.. Prepare for the Plague if you must.. I could slip in the shower and break my neck and die too... Or go to the store or work in my truck and die in a car crash.. Or???

  • Don’t panic. Remain calm. Calendar “no charge” cancellation dates. Decide as each date comes up. Panic and fear are more dangerous than any virus.
