No you are not alone. Many people are canceling or delaying their trips. I personally think the risks are way overblown and hyped by the media so I have not cancelled my upcoming trip although with the decreased airline demand there is a possibility that my United flight through Tokyo may be cancelled or merged with others. I have my fingers crossed this does not happen, but we will see what we see.

As to fellow passengers sneezing & coughing on the plane: I hate that! But I believe that particular risk is way down from normal due to the extraordinary pre flight screening that is going on at all major international airports due to the virus. I also think the risk of catching the disease in the PI, Thailand, Vietnam, or Indonesia is significantly less than the risk of catching it in the Northern hemisphere like in Italy or the USA and I think that the risk in the North is low, but if you are nervous about it then cancel or postpone your trip. I am sure SE Asia will still be around when you decide it is safe. For me, I think it is relatively safe now and I am going unless new data hits the fan or my flight is cancelled. I think now is a really great time to be in SE ASia. I hear the girls are very lonely. LOL. I am in good health. I will take rational precautions just as I would to avoid the flu. I don't think there is much to worry about. I could be wrong, ha ha, but statistically, I don't think so.

I have been reading the NY Times daily Coronavirus Briefing and the news coming out of China where most of the data is coming says that most infections are family related, and infections emanating from casual contact are the exception to the rule.

As a Filipino, my answer is I don't know. Probably because I am someone who prefers traveling to Europe during my free time. Depends on one's interest though as mine is sightseeing castles, churches, and other old buildings. I am also attracted to white girls as well. That is just me though.

There are tourists and there are mongers. Tourists are there to enjoy new countries and places. If sex is there they will partake but that is not the primary reason they go there.

Mongers like me go to countries primarily for girls and will go sightseeing, water sports etc. There are many countries known for it not just Philippines.

Promiscuous women are there everywhere but in Philippines they do not care for the age difference. I am talking about regular girls. Prostitutes will sleep with anybody for money.

More and more bargirls in many countries nowadays have a choice of who they go with and who they do not although they are considered prostitutes. Bars used to angry with girls who do not barfine because most of the money is from barfine. I do not know if they let go of the girls for that reason.

Some of the best scuba diving in the world is in PI. I don't go places just for promiscuous women. If you look on the internet, there is loads of that in my own damn country.

Japan / Narita requires security screen for Thru Flight (Connecting Flights) International passengers both directions.

Sorry.

Rainman.

Like I said before, you only do that security going back to the USA.

LOL. How could you disagree when I just did it yesterday? Okay, technically you are screened because they ask you the questions about your belongings. But you and your stuff do not have to go through a machine.

Well, it's started. United just canceled my flights to / from Manila connecting through Narita.

Well, hopefully the status quo will continue for awhile. I'm flying to Manila via Narita in mid-March, and worried about flight cancellations.
