[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't go on a cruise ship and I wouldn't travel to a country with a current outbreak (northern Italy, Iran, china,) but otherwise yes we will travel.

[b]The economic impact of not rebelling due to fear will lead to tons of unemoyment, families losing their homes, suicides, kids going hungry. There is a large segment of working poor who work in the travel, hospitality, retail and service industries who will be severely negatively impacted by everyone staying home. [/b]

Unless there is an actual risk, we will continue to travel. We have family currently travelling internationally right now and more leaving next week. [/quote]

I get it, but I honestly don't care deeply enough to risk my or my family's health over it even if that risk is 0.1%. And while you're saying you won't go places with current outbreaks -- IMO anyplace with cases has an outbreak right now; so why would I go to Fla. -- just because of someone else's potential unemployment, loss of home, kids hungry, or suicide? I'm sympathetic to how economic slow downs spiral when people stop spending; it happened in 08 and because I was working in a counter cyclical industry in NYC and secure in my job, I was very conscious of it and made sure to keep ordering out, tipped servers and cabbies more than usual, kept shopping etc to keep money circulating. Yet that was ONLY money. This would mean helping others out with potential risk to my health, and sorry -- no that isn't going to happen. [/quote]
