This is my main concern as well. As I was chatting with another FTer today, I'm not worried about the illness itself, I'm worried about the travel prohibitions.

Scavenging
{No colors because I know our thread moderator doesn't like that.} 
As somebody who has stayed out of this thread, but monitored it; the contemplation that international airlines, including those from North America, may face hundreds, if not thousands of cancellations of passengers heading to Asia - but still wanting to operate those flights, will cut airfares to the point that I can afford to attend this!
I'll find cheap places to stay in Nagoya. They may be agonizing that their rooms | dorms aren't being booked either.
Nothing else to scribe so far.

I suppose it’s because of your job. I don’t see any general restrictions or quarantine requirements for anybody returning to Australia from Japan unless you were on Diamond Princess and a non-Australian national.

As long as my EVA flights don’t get cancelled (I have a connection via TPE both ways), I’ll be there. I’m more concerned about the flight situation rather than the virus itself, but that’s just me. TPE to NRT has been cancelled a few days now, but flights to NGO and KIX (from which I’m returning from) seem to be ok, for now.

Soo... finally caught back up on this thread. Still have tickets confirmed to NGO from TYO and was waiting for some space to open on the return to confirm. Didn't realize the post do has been termed it seems.
Will keep an eye here- want to go as this is the annual highlight of my spring travel to see how things evolve. Thanks!
