I will not ceased to be extremely surprised about the reaction of most people that are in total panic when it comes to travel. They don't realize that the risk could be the same or higher at home. Airlines are reporting massive cancellations also for the summer, while there is no reason to cancel a summer booking
now. We can thank the media for this, as well as all the companies who totally forbid business trips in all regions without valid reasons (instead of forbidding only in selective countries/regions).
