I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
My company hasn't cancelled the company-wide trip to Athens at the end of April, but none of us are from hot zones or travelling through hot zones to get there, so I honestly agree with the assessment on that one.
As far as personally, I'm honestly not particularly worried. Barring the initial response and the Diamond Princess, both of which were pretty seriously mishandled, pretty much every government has been really on top of things. New cases are decreasing at the moment, and I'm in one of the lowest risk groups when it comes to serious cases. So, all in all, it's not a huge threat to me personally. That said, I'm probably not going to be traveling internationally except for the few cases required by my job at least until next year, but that's just as much for reasons of personal finance as anything else.
However, I'm not really looking forward to the very real possibility of people panicking on the flights I'm on for the aforementioned company trip due to me coughing from allergies. Actually being in Athens for a little more than a week, between the food (I can't get good Greek food where I live unless I make it myself) and getting to hang out with my coworkers (95% of our company works remote, and I'm the only employee in my area), should more than make up for that though.
