Hysterical reaction if I ever did read one. "wanting someone to die".... please stop it. I merely pointed out that to trivialize a life or death situation by comparing Covid-19 to the possibility of "catching cold or flu through fun and games" defies belief. I initially gave a very balanced reply to a crisis, that let's face it, we all need to give serious consideration . Mrs Smith i did incorporate future trips in my initial reply. I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade here just giving an opinion.
Some other world leader compared this situation to the flu and 28,500 have died in his own country in a matter of weeks. Before anyone jumps on this, my point is not political, I really like the guy that said this , but i reckon he got this a little wrong. The bigger point is this, you can advise a person on any dangerous situation in life but if they are hell bent on doing something anyway, then go ahead and do it. God knows, in our own home we advise our daughters all the time and they ignore us, lots of times to their cost. Problem is the stakes are much higher just now.
The initial question in this thread was "when do you think it will be safe to book ?". I don't think it will be safe before we have a vaccine, simple !. I pray that will be next week or very soon and we can go back to normality ASAP. The biggest risk, as we see it, is that poorer countries like Mexico, Turkey & Greece etc will re-open for business before it is safe to do so. They rely so heavily on tourism that it just might influence their decision to open for business again before it is safe to do so, and in my opinion that would be catastrophic.
Anyway it's all about opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs. I received a sarcastic response "Seriously, Since this is a Swinger's forum & not just vanilla TripAdvisor site" from Westhoustoncouple which i felt had no justification to my initial civil input.
Have a nice day everyone and please stay safe.
