Covid-19, would you still go ahead with UK holidays????

So my partner and I are supposed to be going down to London on the 20th March for a bit of sight-seeing and to catch a show, now with this poxy Covid -19 stuff I'm not sure whether to go or not, we are both healthy and mid-40's so not overly concerned about it, but our folks are obviously older and I do have a daughter who I'm supposed to be going to Center Parcs with in the Easter hols, would you cancel London and just go later in the year or we could cancel and go somewhere a little less crowded like the Lakes???
What would you do?

I would go ahead.

We’ve got a concert booked at the Royal Albert Hall on the 22nd of this month, and have already bought train tickets and paid for a night at a Premier Inn. The RAH is keeping us informed as to whether the concert will be cancelled. If it is we’ll just take a hit on the other money lost as I don’t fancy going down there for no real reason, especially sitting in a potentially busy train carriage and going on the Tube. If the concert still goes ahead we’ll take a risk and still go unless things get a lot worse.

We can cancel train tickets and hotel no problem and get the money back, with regards to the show I'm not sure...
Also have the insurance so I can cancel Center Parcs if it all goes mental in April as well...
Guess I'll see how the next 72 hours pan out then, let someone else mentioned it would just be the public transport I'd be weary of the most in London, although I'm led to believe they are doing something about it...

I would still go BUT I don't visit my  mother ( in her 80s) often anyway.

I went down to London a week ago to see the Tutankhamun exhibition.

I took precautions (carried hand sanitizer gel with me and used it frequently etc.).

The only crowds I encountered were at the exhibition. Even the Tube was quiet but I avoided that and walked as much as I could.

My thinking is the virus hasn’t get kegs or wings so can only spread if we help it so take precautions seriously I’d go.

Things are changing so fast I'd probably wait until the day before to decide! I'm due to go into London twice next week and I'm a bit uncertain about it now whereas last week I wasn't bothered! Someone in my husband's office ( in london) was diagnosed with it earlier in the week.  I think people will be spreading it not even knowing they are infected. I have an inflammatory lung issue so I am slightly concerned even though I'm not old and otherwise healthy. I haven't told my boss though as I'm worried they might think I'm over exaggerating. I plan to wait and see.

Indecent exposure? Might make posters from the North smile?

I am avoiding anywhere crowded and public transport. Appreciate not everyone can do this but the less of us present the more the spread slows. We have a UK holiday booked and will go but stay outdoors and avoid anywhere crowded. Luckily we are self catering anyway. So going to a show no , but maybe sight seeing yes. The situation is changing daily though. It's worth being careful who knows how many lives could be at risk?

I would definitely make the decision last minute based on current advice and information.

Going to see what happens over the next few days in the Capital, Center Parcs is 3 more weeks away and I'll see how that plays out...
