<p>More than likely 4 weeks from now the situation will be a lot
worse than it is now. If I had to make a decision today without
availability of refunds I would not make plans to go. It is
already too late to stop the spread in the US. We missed that
boat (or cruise ship) a couple of weeks ago. You will likely see
many more cases reported daily especially as testing becomes more
available. Right now many "maybe" patients are not being tested.
I am an ED doc in NY and I do not have direct control who gets
testing right now. Likely to change as tests become more widely
available in the next week or two. In my mind the big "if" for
this virus is if it follows the same seasonal course as the Flu
which is already on the decline. If it does then it may not get
to epidemic proportions in the US before dying out for this
season. If it doesn't then we are likely in for significant
numbers of people getting sick and many requiring
hospitalization. <br>
