I agree whole heartedly with MissJen. The flu is everywhere and we have always traveled anyway. Now there is a particularly nasty strain, and the media is doing what they do. Trying to make it a big story so they can keep your attention. That's their job, to get people to read, watch, click on their stories. I am flying to California tomorrow. We will do what we always do on airplanes, keep my fingers away from my face, and mouth, wash my hands, and try to use common sense ( that last part is a big challenge for me). I won't stop traveling, and I wont worry, worry never helped anything.

The big difference? There is a flu shot available. Imagine if a strain of flu develops and spreads that there is no known vaccination to slow it down or stop it. Right now, that is what we have with the coronavirus.

Taking precautions will obviously help but it is pretty easy to spot a person sick with the flu in the communicable stages. Easier to avoid that than a person who looks like everyone else and still in the incubation process.

I am buying a ticket to go back to Jamaica this year and this won't change my plans either.
