Some people have not done their homework and looked at the stats. Sure, you or your offspring may be fine, but consider this. Everywhere this thing has exploded so far about 20% require hospital stays and a significant % need respirators. 100,000 ICU beds nationwide. Somewhere on the order of 100K min to 200K max ventilators available. That is 0.000625% of the population. Locking down for a while is not a big deal. Blunting the spread keeps the epidemic from spiking too fast and overwhelming the system. I am not panicked but the "It's just the flu" bros are idiots and narcissistic beyond belief.

The the system is overwhelmed inevitable deaths if this thing goes parabolic is on your hands.

It is fine if she goes but if she shows ANY symptoms she HAS to self quarantine for 14 days be it there or when she returns. I would wear a mask and gloves in the airports and on the plane and learn how to take off them off safely.

Her catching it statistically is extremely likely to be no worse than the flu. If she catches it and spreads it that is the issue at hand. If she swears on both your lives to self quarantine if she shows ANY symptoms be fine with it. If not disown her and write her off.
