Care to expand on the Delta portion? Delta and United each has its strength and weaknesses.

The virus is not UA's doing, of course, but with UA having had a significant presence in the China, no doubt there would be some setback. Delta, on the other hand, has already cancelled all flights to/from China until May.

Let's not pretend the virus is affecting only UA. Its rivals are experiencing setbacks as well, to varying degrees.
