The older you are the more likely (80% of deaths in over 60s) 2. If you have any other preexisting illness, you're also far more likely to die (72% of deaths had pre-existing illness)

I have a Princess cruise coming up in march sailing out of Singapore for 12 days

After reading this I am starting to reconsider cancelling!

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-05/coronavirus-on-diamond-princess-cruise-sh...

Two Australians are among 10 people who have tested positive to coronavirus on board a cruise ship which is docked in the Japanese port of Yokohama.

There were about 3,700 passengers and crew on board
Health officials were testing people who had shown symptoms such as fevers

Health checks began after an 80-year-old Hong Kong man tested positive for coronavirus

Nearly 4,000 passengers and crew on board the Diamond Princess have been put into mandatory quarantine for two weeks.

In a statement provided to the ABC, the ship's operator Princess Cruises confirmed there were a total of 223 Australians on the ship.

If this situation doesn't improve by then, I am certain you will be offered a chance to get a refund or re-booking further down the track.

I'm so glad I didn't book any cruises for this year so far...whew!

Went on 4 in the last 2 years, and lucky all went well.

The cruise mid last year we did, (Voyager of the Seas) from Singapore, was to South East Asia, and it was amazing.

I hope you get to do the cruise okay, would be a shame to miss out.

But with all these happenings of late, I am betting a lot of cruisers are very very nervous!!

We have dropped of daughter at airport to go to Queensland and she said the airport is the emptiest and quietest ever seen!
All photos she sends show every area, even security (from a distance) is empty.
She was getting a coffee, only 3 people there and she says OMG one guy gets into a coughing fit. I said “use the mask Luke!”
So I said, be interesting to see how many empty seats on plane!
More info on the ghost town of Tullamarine airport to follow.
