Google the SARS case where one person infected 20 sons people on a three hour flight to/from Beijing. Several of the infected died.

It’s probably low but why risk it unless the trip is critical? I’m not a “crazed shelter in place until there is a vaccine” type person but I’m cautious and careful.

Airports are empty. Most restaurants and shops are closed.

Basically this. You are more likely to catch anything with close proximity, especially inside. Planes are a lot of people in one space. Not to say it's guaranteed or whatever
