| I admire my fellow American who is headed to Beijing in June, as I have long planned to travel to Shanghai later this month. However, I have to admit that my feelings are divided right now. One the one hand, I read this board and feel reassured. On the other, I read the WHO and U.S. CDC reports along with the media coverage and become apprehensive. One the one hand, I hope to see someone very special to me in Shanghai, someone whose affection I fear I may lose if I cannot see her. On the other, I think of my friends, colleagues and family who worry both about me and themselves should I do. Even the travel agency handling my visa application held it up because of fear of the virus. It was not until I did a lot of complaining, even some yelling, did they turn my application over to the Chinese Consulate. So, as of right now, I am sitting tight, hoping for some good news out of China between now and May 19. Either way, I am thinking of all of you. |
