Furthermore, as unlikely as it is, I would not want to find myself back to square one if other European countries decided to follow suit.
Not at all to take away from what an unfortunate situation this is - but to be fair, I wouldn't expect any airline to endorse to another carrier for a flight, two months away, that isn't officially canceled yet, and if canceled would be due to circumstances entirely out of their control.
