If ? and I stress the word if ? there were an outbreak, there would be a reaction. There always is. Areas could be virtually shut down.

I would never suggest that people not be worried, because when you travel, worry is just one of the things you pack along with you. But it's not appropriate for people to be in a panic mode in this stage.

Stress is a natural and normal part of being alive. Stress-free promises set people up for failure. Even when used with good intentions and accompanied by relevant and beneficial ideas and practices, the use of the words stress-free is still ill advised because the approach is infused with an erroneous idea that will never come to fruition. The stress-free idea has become a significant hurdle on the path to real stress management, which is the balance between using stress productively and relieving harmful stress symptoms.

Evolution has geared the human stress response to last about thirty seconds. It's enough time to facilitate fight or flight. Evolution has not adapted our brains or bodies to handle weeks or months of prolonged stress.

There is no such thing as a stress-free life. No evidence has ever been presented which suggests that a stress-free life can ever be achieved. Stress can be managed, relieved and lessened, but never eliminated.

Drop the fear. What you fear most, can be a repeated theme in your life.
