Does anyone here think it's a bad idea to travel internationally at this time? I have a trip from US to UK planned in 2 weeks...

- wikibob 7y agoBad idea. Don’t go.
- Filligree 7y agoIn my opinion: The risk is still acceptably low if you're a young, healthy person, but only if you're able to self-quarantine after the travel and avoid contact with anyone beyond the age of fifty or who has respiratory problems for the first month afterwards. Follow guidelines, but use common sense. If we're in a situation where it's too risky for certain groups to travel, then it's also risky for travelers to interact with them. Also keep in mind that, depending on the situation at the time and they length of your trip, you might not be able to return. Make sure nothing terrible will happen in that situation.
- Bootwizard 7y agoI am a young and relatively healthy person.
- marton78 7y agoIt's quite possible that your won't be able to return for a few months.
- Bootwizard 7y agoReally?? Where does it state that?
- djannzjkzxn 7y agoIn the past week it’s been discovered that the virus has spread in two developed countries - South Korea and Italy. Already a bunch of countries have created travel restrictions and it’s only a matter of time until the restrictions increase. If a similar outbreak is discovered in the UK while you are there, you might become subject to similar restrictions. You’d be unlucky if it happened while you are there, but it wouldn’t be shocking. We’re trying to predict the policy response to an unknown future so it’s very hard to say.
