Was planning on using miles for this trip but cash might be the better value. Not making a decision just yet, think there is time to see how things shape up. Appreciate your advice.

I guess time to backtrack since I already made it to ATL

This is why it is best to not travel right now, especially internationally.

We do however have the advantage of being able to cancel our flights and car hire with very little penalty and drive instead. We are really in two minds about whether to just go for the flight and risk exposure in the airports or go by car/tunnel and likely isolate ourselves almost the entire way. The former is simpler and quicker and the latter safer and more boring but we just cannot decide.

For context we would be flying Business and so would use the lounge and our car is from Alamo (which is actually Enterprise in Munich). I am 37 with well controlled type 1 diabetes and my partner is 35 and my brother 35, both with no pre-existings. We all have healthy lifestyles with extremely healthy diet and exercise. What would you peeps do?

Supposed to depart March 31. So, it is three weeks away from now, and we are able to cancel at the last minute without penalty.

At this point we aren't cancelling unless we get cancelled (by airline or country).

One part of me says "don't go, you risk infecting other people even if you will be ok" and the other side is saying "you are in as much risk at home as in Netherlands/Belgium."

I'm guessing in the next 20 days the decision will be out of my hands.

To go from 1300 new cases a day to 20 would imply that China has found a cure.
