I read that the child was Mexican.
I wouldn't let it disrupt my vacation if I were you. They haven't declared a pandemic and our border with Mexico hasn't even been closed yet. Of course all of that might change at any moment, but this is still a very safe country to have your holiday in.
Please come, spend LOTS of money!!
I think atm it's panic more than the "correct facts".
We go in 6 weeks maybe less.I hope it's all blown over by then if now and it's worse then my common sense head will kick in and I will think about rearranging alternative dates..Until then it's a matter of hoping it's contained very soon.
I do agree it's very scary,the media are doing a great job in scaring folk rather than stating "true" facts.
Couldn`t agree more, its all about selling papers and adverts at the minute.
As of yet there`s no real sensible reporting going on.
Thats not to say there`s nothing in it, just that a bit of restraint and balance would be nice.
But as always I expect the media are blowing this up out of proportion.

The child who died was Mexican, but apparently caught it whilst in Texas, not whilst in Mexico
I had to laugh at the radio one news earlier... Some woman texted in saying she was going to start carrying tissues around with her and would be stockpiling them in case she couldn't leave the house at some point... Whatever makes people feel better I suppose
Just to put things into perspective a bit (not claiming it to be 100% accurate but it is based on WHO statistics)

The newspapers are making me really worried I know what the facts are, but I'm going to Florida in 11 days to get married, so if it were cancelled it would be devastating!
Anyone have any words of wisdom and encouragement to stop me stressing?
