[pigfarmer]

What are your opinions on travel this summer and the Coronavirus? What about campground functions etc.?

Have you seen the rate of deaths with people over 65 years of age, its high, even if you do get sick and survive it can leave you with lung and other internal organ damage..

The younger you are the better you will do with the virus even if you get sick..

Lots of seniors are going to die from this, don't take it lightly and don't believe the death rates coming out of China..

Life goes on as normal for me. I figure my risk is about the same no matter where I’m at because we don’t know who’s got it and who doesn’t so I don’t worry about it.

7 weeks for us! Cant wait to see Key West!

Odds of being affected by the virus are so low it's just not a concern to us.

If you aren't in any of the so called "at risk" categories of personal physical condition, age, or health, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Avoid crowds is about all they can recommend at this stage.
How will you know if/when you're going to get it? You don't, so you can either cancel your plans, or just carry on with your normal routines, and do your own thing. IMO.

Still going on my Euro river cruise in May.
Just booked a trans-Atlantic cruise in November.

I'm not planning on staying in my room under the covers.

I'd much rather be out in the mountains camping than in a hotel or anywhere else that people are.

I agree, take the wait and see attitude. I wouldn't cancel any reservations at this point.
When you go, take sufficient supplies along so you can avoid the stores as much as possible.

Summer is 3 months away. I think it's too early to know what the coronavirus situation will be by then. I'll wait at least 2 months before cancelling any reservations.

I’m going. Why would travel in my RV, largely without being close to anyone even in an RV Park (which I disfavor), be more....”risky”...than being home?
