If someone is a loner and has no relatives, loved ones and friends who want to see the person, then the danger zone for such persons may come from someone else. But even for the loners, travel isn't without its risks from this virus situation. Not only can a person get sick or make others sick during the course of travel, the person may end up stuck during the travels in a way that isn't desirable even to a loner traveling -- as with the changing entry rules, changing screening and quarantine practices, and slashing of scheduled commercial passenger transport systems putting some people in limbo when and where they least expected it.

A few hours ago I was reading about a North African IT company head who was not taking the coronavirus situation seriously and still trying to travel. Last I heard, he was stuck in the transit zone of BRU for 30+ hours and still unable to get to where he was headed and unable to return to from where he came. Maybe now he will take the situation more seriously, even if he still doesn't care about the health risks to himself and others.
