I’ve got a trip coming up mid March which also involves a train journey and I’m getting nervous about doing it.
I was in Milan on Friday (before the news of the scale of the impact came out) and people were already a little tense. At LIN (and MXP), they were checking everyone's temperature and I saw a good few more masks than on my previous visit at the start of the month.
I should have been back to Milan today for a meeting on the outskirts of Milan with a major oil and gas company and it was decided to cancel all meetings for the foreseeable future. Airlines may have to reduce more out of demand than to contain the virus but it is interesting to see how it develops.

Hopefully by March you will be ok.
