There shouldn't be a need to claim, I'm pretty sure that most companies will show goodwill, particularly if someone has a condition that puts them at risk.

If they won't give refunds then they should at least offer rearranged travel for later in the year.

If it was to an area with virtually no cases then fair enough but Italy is a bit different.

no airlines are apart from BA.
 


Latest update about the mutation that has gone on.

S Type, the original and less deadly and less infectious.
L Type, the mutation, more deadly and more infectious.

70% of cases in China were L type and the lock down is helping stop L type.

Evidence looks like the global outbreak is the S type. However you can carry both S and L types. one case in the States had both.

Hoping the vaccine being developed will stop both

Hopefully they get a handle on it and we can carry on pretty much as normal dealing with a moderate level of S type cases. Just hoping we're globally good enough to track the L spread and isolate it. The next few weeks will tell when all those currently incubating start presenting, there must be thousands upon thousands by this point due to the slow public response.

My Hunch, and its a totally uneducated hunch is that Italy is the L type, and what we are getting is the L type as a lot of it is coming from there by the look of it.

Im basing this on numbers from the John Hopkins site.

global mortalityrate is about 3.4%, mostly driven by China which is 70% the L type.

Italy is currently at about 3.5% mortality rate which tracks the global figures.

However, South Korea is at 0.5% mortality rate... So many the likes of Korea have the weaker S type?
