We have no idea what this virus might do and it might disappear suddenly but if it does not, then we must either learn to live with it because otherwise the magic money tree will collapse...
I do not know where your cousin and his wife live, but they are very lucky to be in the medical profession and along with their colleagues are thumbing through travel brochures right now.
Where exactly would they consider going right now? Serious question by the way.
The magic tree you refer to is a serious issue. Indeed it was the case a colleague of mine made in going to Mauritius (no cases at the time) from Germany to support local tourism. When there they had an outbreak as Europeans flooded there and contaminated the local population. But hey it might just disappear. Right?
