You might well be fine - but do you have parents or grandparents alive? If so, how would feel about them being “chucked” into “pits” if they don’t make it?
Exactly! By travelling around this time, you have a better chance of contracting virus, and remember it only has no/mild symptoms at the beginning, then you may infect others around you (not necessarily your loved ones, but people around you without any protection). Please be considerate for the already very fragile NHS. Understandably, some people do not care to contract the virus, and think you are not in that particular high risk group. The loss of your life isn’t all about yourself, what about your loved ones? Remember there were people not in that high risk group were still died of this disease. Do you know what? Their relatives became contracted by looking after the sicked ones. It is wise to reconsider your travel plan.
