Not at all, but I drive everywhere.

To be fair, it's in the back of my mind, but I have a trip to NM & I fly out April 21 with my dad & I will not miss it. Besides, I have a 7 day trip and the virus has a 7-14 day incubation period, soooo....

I don't worry about it. That's what moonshine is for.

Seven days then to Hawaii for turkey, and yes I am concerned, but going. I'm 64 with a compromised immune system no spleen. So being very careful, my biggest concern is we fly into Washington over night and then fly out next day. Once I can get turkey hunting again won't have a worry in the world.
Untill I have to come home, and get to my next place to hunt turkeys.

Same boat here with the no spleen, I have stopped going to friends who have kids in the winter because I got sick of going to the hospital or getting admitted for a week or more at a time. I have become a bit of a germophobe because of it, I carry hand sanitizer with me everywhere I go in the winter, I don't sit on public toilets unless I have zero choice at all. I do not touch stall doors with my skin, I do not handle doorknobs or handles going into or out of a bathroom (Studies show 69%% of men do not wash their hands when leaving the bathroom and only 5% of those do it correctly)

I will use a paper towel to open the doors and if one is not available I do one of two things, 1 I wait for somebody else to come in or leave or 2 I use my shirtsleeve over my hand to touch the door handle and when I get out to the vehicle I spray my arm and shirt down with an antiseptic.  Sounds crazy but I do not end up in the hospital half as much as I used to and I bet doing the same would help others to not contract as many diseases.

And you guys thought I was weird before!

My biggest fear of traveling (especially off the continental U.S.) would not be getting sick, it would be possibly not allowed coming back, or having all flights canceled and getting stuck...  And then getting stuck paying for lodging without being able to make an income for any extended period of time.

I run my own business, and there is no doubt that this virus will have a larger effect on the economy than the health of most individuals...  Lots of people cancelling appointments...  Cannot even purchase toilet paper, hand sanitizer, or paper towels.
