is determined not to fly anywhere--be in an airport or on a plane--until
this plays out. He's even talked about getting in a 2-3 week supply of
food so we wouldn't have to go out. He's that afraid of it.

Personally, I'm not that afraid of an exposure since we don't have any trips
planned--by plane--anyway. But I've had my fill of airports in the last
year for other reasons.

I do think there's a very good possibility that information is being withheld.

And I also wonder how many people who've been exposed are just booking
their own arrangements home--without telling anyone--possibly even with
symptoms?
