> Even still, my partner and I are keeping an eye open on flights to Europe (we've always wanted to go) and seriously considering taking the risk of buying a flight for in a couple of months time because they are quite literally at half price right now. And I'm not even talking about Italy. If you do this in the midst of a pandemic, it's an unethical and selfish act.

Please read the entirety of my comment before painting me so negatively... I'm certain that just purchasing some discounted airline tickets for sometime later in the year will not in itself cause any negative global health effects. The decision to actually travel can be made entirely separately from that gamble.

  Yeah, patient zero in Italy was probably just one dude who traveled. You have no effin' clue what consequences of your acts may be. Europe will be still here later. If we're still in the height of epidemics during your travel, you will be basically locked in someplace and very hard to see anything. To sum it up, tremendously stupid idea with utterly selfish tones.

    Selfish? To travel after the trouble with the virus has subsided on tickets purchased during a period of discounted rates? Or do you mean not traveling because the virus hasn't subsided and tossing the hundreds of dollars down the drain in a gamble? If neither of these were your conclusions, then respectfully—I think you misunderstood my comments.

      After reading your comment including edits it's still not clear when you plan to travel so I understand the negative reactions you're getting. Buying flight tickets might be cheap right now but the point is if when your trip starts X weeks from now and the situation is still bad and you don't cancel it, then you are indeed selfish and deserving of the negative comments and down votes. Further, since nobody knows when this will end (it could continue into 2021 for all we know) and you didn't say you'd cancel your plans if it did (instead you expressed concerns you'd lose money if travel was banned), I feel like you're drastically misunderstanding the 2nd order dangers your actions would have and likely deserve the ire and down votes you're getting.

        > and you didn't say you'd cancel That is the risk I referred to, as I clarified—not being able to take the trip because the situation didn't improve. I've explained this many times over by now.

        Instead of simply waiting till the pandemic is over you would rather buy a cheap ticket and risk it being canceled or you locked down somewhere or spreading the disease. People like you are who made it worse. Selfish, naive, ignorant. People are dying because selfish cheap trip ideas like yours. :/ If you would die because of this I wouldn't care but you may be a risk for others. To safe little bit of money. Unbeliebable.
