It's extremely risky and stupid for you to go.

Any vacation you think you'll be enjoying will be offset by the stress and risk of infection.

If you are infected, it's like a worse pneumonia. You will likely have issues returning to the United States when your vacation is over as travel restrictions continue to be expanded.

You'd be much better off skipping the trip and taking the loss on your plane tickets. Consider it an investment in your health.

that's what a smart person would do. inb4 im quarantined for 40 days and unable to return back to work. Do I get short term disability in that case?

I've waited too many months for this. My fiance lives there and says everything is normal.

Srs answer? So far, Americans who are involuntarily isolated are just getting bills and, last I knew, silence from the CDC on who is responsible for paying them. Your domestic insurance should cover costs for being quarantined in the United States upon your return - which is probably something you should expect at this point - but I would double-check what happens to you if you get sick overseas. Your insurance may only reimburse emergency care in-country after you've paid cash up-front, and I have no idea how the costs work for a medical repatriation flight. If you don't have travel medical insurance that will put you in a private hospital English-speaking doctors if you get stuck in Italy, I would suggest buying it now. Would not care to be the lowest rung on the ladder in a public hospital in Italy.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

Well, Italy is pretty much fuk'd....

One of the guys i had a meeting with last week was saying that his brother has just come back from italy skiing & has been put into a 14 day isolation period.....

I'm flying out to Bankso, Bulgaria weekend for a week snowboarding too - But in reality, 1% mortality rate SO FAR..
ALSO - Our company has researched 'Coronavirus' & have found that hand sanitiser 99.9% doesn't kill it... It basically just makes it easier to spread.

I think seeing how resistant this strain is to everything, it seems to becoming pretty scary...

Florence is in the north of Italy. Everything north of Rome is considered the north of Italy. You'll be about halfway between Milan and Rome, and about the same distance as Venice. Venice is basically a ghost town because nobody in their right mind is traveling there right now.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/venices...ry-11583066058

Not trying to scare you but even as somebody who travels aggressively and is traveling right now, I would not do this. At a bare minimum, like I said, make sure your health and travel insurance is buttoned up tight in case you have unexpected expenses due to being stranded somewhere due to transportation shutdowns or forced to go to the a hospital.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

meh, you sound way too overly concerned imo. Im not worried about the health side and catching it, im worried about the economic hit worldwide if it becomes prolonged.

If I were you, I’d stay the fuk put and cancel flight.

Book a flight to somewhere in the US? I’d skip heavily touristy spots like theme parks, etc.

This is imminent. China is at a stand still. This is going to impact the entire world imo.

If some chit like this happens in other countrified where cities are shut down, it’ll just snowball into a global recession.

They literally had 1000 new cases in a week. It's been growing at an exponential rate there. They are about to pass China in number of new cases.

No offense to your fiance but her opinion is useless. She has no idea how much the virus has spread.

There are too many people getting infected now that didn't show symptoms for days. Your risk for infection is just way higher by traveling to Italy.

As for her thinking that its business as usual... wellhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus..._can_enter_or/

In b4 OP gets stuck in Italy due to flight route cancellations.

Typically I’m not the one to stress about something like this, but so many airlines have been cancelling flights and Europe has been getting more cases - I wouldn’t book a trip there now. Would be a tough call if I had booked the trip months ago though.. get a refund?

Any recommendation on travel insurance? I have never had to purchase any before. Also, Her family says everything is normal where they are living in Florence. Her dad works in Milan and walks around every day without even wearing a mask.

The irony of this statement is palpable.

Flying in any way shape or form with confirmed flight attendant cases, as well as other cases on planes.
Being in airports with a large swath of potential infected.
Going to Northern Italy where the most concentrated area of infection is.

It's literally 3 separate failures of self preservation.

But don't worry brah, I'm the one with bad judgement.

Allianz I believe sells insurance.

Check your confirmation email you got for your ticket. It may have insurance info. If not, call your airline and ask if they partner with an insurance carrier.

Ohh nah, couldn't care if i caught it infact - I've more chance in being hit by a car walking to the shop than dying from it i reckon...

It's just a real fuk'n inconvenience - I flew like 3 weeks ago? - Airports are full of people wearing face masks, Gloves all sorts.

I heard US of A is charging it's own people $3500 to be tested.... I've also heard they've refused to use the WHO recommended testing.
LOL - If it spreads in America, Well fuk... God bless ya.

No Free Medical care, People will then avoid going doctors as can't afford it - Then spread their germs further, to more people..

I would check the credit cards you booked with first and see what they cover. Chase, for example, has generous trip interruption coverage for things like unexpected hotel costs if your flight can't leave.

For health coverage, I've never bought it, but Blue Cross offers a product called Geo Blue that is considered very reputable.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

Travelguard has specifically travel insurance, they also cover medic evacuation if needed. I think the evac costs a little more, I didn’t opt for it myself.

In my opinion - and it's just my opinion - I would prefer coverage that I can confidently say will cover my care in a good private hospital abroad than risk being put on an eight-hour flight with pneumonia to ride out a possible military quarantine.

I know some people have a gut reaction of "but 'murica", but the truth is that most foreign capitals and major commercial hubs can deliver as good or better medical care with an English-speaking doctor to an American with financial means than the general hospital in their hometown, and the odds of OP being able to return to his familiar hospital if he's sick enough for an emergency medevac flight are literally zero. He'll get directed to wherever the Feds are keeping people detained at the border by then. I'm in South America right now and I can tell you that if, for any reason, it comes out that I'm going to be isolated at the border, I'm staying here until it's over. If I'm going to die, I'll die warm.

He'll also be on the hook for the cost of any non-emergency repatriation flights if healthy Americans are invited to evacuate Italy by the Department of State, and should maybe ask his travel insurance if they'll honor that claim.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

"The manlet is a savage beast that knows no moral bound.
