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.

Keeping all our trip reservations and will probably add more. Mostly dry camping out in the sticks. Will likely avoid restaurants or get to-go orders only.

RVing shows its great versatility avoiding planes, motels, and restaurants as needed.

Neither of those are true.

We know the death rate, and the media I watch has doctors and health professionals. I don't know what media you listen to or watch.


I try to listen to Doctors and Health Care Providers......perhaps โ€œnotโ€ the same ones you listen to. Mine are calling it a pandemic but, and suggest exercising logic, following known health practices and โ€œnotโ€ to panic. Panic and worldwide hysteria could, in a worst case scenario, lead to very poor decisions. Enough poor decisions can lead to more deaths than Covid-19! JMO.

We will not be out in public, exposing ourselves to increased risk or potentially helping spread the virus! This is the beauty of free will....we make our own decisions and reap the consequences....good or bad! memtb

You are a scientist that has studied such things?

High mortality virus tend to mutate into less deadly strains. Influenzas Spanish Flu 1918 -- Hong Kong 1957, etc. Even catastrophic pandemics like pneumonic plague mutate themselves into oblivion.

The big question is "when"?

136 people died in Spain last night from this โ€œFluโ€. Iโ€™m seeing a lot of people seek out those with the least education and trust in what they say as opposed to listening to those educated in the field. Careful out there.

All campers should cancel their trips, especially May and June up the northern west coast. Also, forget about heading from Seattle to Spokane, and south through Utah. Then, there is no way you want to head towards Vegas, Kingman or Phoenix. Nor would you want to go from Phoenix towards Sacramento. It's just too risky.

Oh.....those are my plans, to go to those areas. Leave me plenty of open campgrounds and open roads for my trip.


It is possible that Washington State will have travel restriction by then.

Dr. Doug, Iโ€™m โ€œnotโ€ attempting to make light of this situation. As with any other rampant disease issue....one should use precautions. However, โ€œifโ€ the reported numbers of cases/fatalities are anywhere near accurate, then.....this has/is being โ€œover sensationalizedโ€! Should we be cautious.....yes! Should we join the rest of those lemmings that are in a state of panic, fighting in the grocery store isles.....No! And we will not join the masses standing in line....remember the โ€œavoid crowds recommendationโ€! We have lived with the philosophy that, โ€œNo one should โ€œeverโ€ place themselves in a position of panic buyingโ€! At this point, the greatest threat we have as a nation is....overreaction! Panic buying can critically affect those that actually need various items to protect and feed their families. Those that were ill prepared and chose โ€œpanicโ€ over reasoning and logic, using the recommended practices.....will make a bad situation much worse!

Whether this is real or overly โ€œhypedโ€ ......This should be a โ€œwake-up callโ€ to all of America, as to how susceptible we are as a nation, to any kind of worldwide crisis! All of us should be prepared for a โ€œbump in the roadโ€. We have been spoiled by the ability to almost daily go to the store for staple items. The term โ€œself-sufficientโ€ is apparently a term foreign to many people!

We are perfectly capable of โ€œriding this outโ€ at our home for many months, if forced to. Weโ€™ll see how it looks โ€œwhen the dust settlesโ€! Time will determine โ€œifโ€ we are truly in a time of a โ€œhuman extinctionโ€ pandemic or over- sensationalism by the media. memtb
