I share your cautionary view. I've notified our children and grandchildren that it would greatly please me if they would enjoy the comforts of home for the next couple of weeks. Challenging since 3 of them have birthdays this week. But I think they all understand that Granny keeps up with world news and doesn't ask much.
Aside from that, as Q asked, those who believe must pray. God Bless all white hats worldwide and guide leadership. You have the right of that. Our best job is praying.
Amen!!
