re: #4 Mike Lamb
I have a family vacation scheduled for Rome and Florence towards the end of June. Trying very hard to sort through the wheat from the chaff in terms of actual, legitimate concerns. My reaction is that it is a serious issue, but at the same time, it is more akin to the flu—with the issue being that there is no preventative vaccine at the moment. A bad flu season wouldn’t be a reason to cancel a trip.
It will be a global pandemic by then, so Italy won’t be any more dangerous than staying home.
