Q: Do you think it is dangerous to travel to the USA?
There is so many gun shots happening in one year in the USA. Do you guys think it is quite dangerous to travel to the USA?
not as dangerous as the risk of being exposed to coronavirus, now detected in the US, Australia and Singapore.
Kudos China.
is this SARS #2?
PulSartre:
The updated virus. The virus that went viral. Never better said.

The Huanan Seafood Market in the central city of Wuhan came under greater scrutiny on Wednesday as Chinese officials said that the virus which has so far killed nine people and infected hundreds may have originated in a wild animal sold at the food emporium.
Past deadly epidemics have been blamed on wild animals – Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) was linked to Chinese consumption of civet meat – setting Chinese authorities up for potential embarrassment if lax supervision of wildlife trafficking is found at fault in the latest outbreak.
A price list circulating on China’s internet for a business at the Wuhan market lists a menagerie of animals or animal-based products including live foxes, crocodiles, wolf puppies, giant salamanders, snakes, rats, peacocks, porcupines, camel meat and other game – 112 items in all.
“Freshly slaughtered, frozen and delivered to your door,” said the price list for the vendor, “Wild Game Animal Husbandry for the Masses.” 
D-D-Go : "Is it safe to travel to USA considering gun violence?"

25 Foreign Travel Warnings for Visiting the U.S.
What do foreign tourists worry about when they visit the U.S.? Expensive emergency healthcare, overly sensitive attitudes towards nude sunbathing, and gross tap water, apparently. That's according to travel warnings for potential U.S. tourists from around the world. These government-issued advisories can seem like common sense for Americans, but they also reveal significant cultural differences between the U.S. and other countries.
1. DON’T GET RIPPED OFF AT AN ORLANDO GAS STATION (UK)
2. TAKE CARE OF THE FLOWERS (CHINA)
The Chinese government suggests several common rules of etiquette for the U.S., including the following suggestion: “Take good care of flowers and trees, etc.”
4. DO NOT STALK ANYONE (GERMANY)
5. WATCH OUT FOR GUNS AT NIGHTTIME (CANADA)
6. STAY AWAY FROM THE EAST COAST (CHINA)
The Chinese government says that the West Coast of the U.S. is safer than the East Coast: “Overall, the western United States is safer than the eastern portion, and a city is relatively safe during the day compared to at night.”
"... Oakland & Richmond in Bay area ... in particular."
7. REALLY, WATCH OUT FOR GUNS (GERMANY)
Seriously, foreign travelers get an earful about America’s love affair with firearms. Here’s what the German government says: “In the USA, it is comparatively easy to obtain possession of guns. If you are the victim of an armed attack, do not try to fight back!”
8. DOORS MIGHT BE CLOSED (RUSSIA)
9. DO NOT INSPIRE ROAD RAGE (CHINA)
11. DON'T PEE IN THE STREET (SWITZERLAND)
13. TRY TO AVOID BEING NAKED (GERMANY)
" ... zeee germans ... "
15. DON’T CUT IN LINE (CHINA)
" ... 'cause you might catch a bullet in the Super ..."
18. THE TAP WATER TASTES GROSS (AUSTRIA)
19. THE AMERICAN DREAM ISN’T REAL (RUSSIA)
24. TAXI DRIVERS KNOW NOTHING (RUSSIA)
25. PAY YOUR TRAFFIC TICKETS (GERMANY)
not as dangerous as the risk of being exposed to coronavirus, now detected in the US, Australia and Singapore.
Kudos China.

United States is reporting already on the first person contaminated with the "mysterious" SARS-like Coronavirus -how imperial it sounds!-. They also call it "the mysterious virus" and it went from animal-to-humans and now from humans-to-humans.
Chinese people pride to spit everywhere. It is a cultural trait to show off and inconsiderately about anyone around, every one of them spits. That is why it went viral. There should be a sieze of consciousness coming from them and stop from travelling around the world, no matter the plans they had for their China New Year.
Coincidently, this virus it broke up from animals right by the time of the "Rat Year". It couldn't be any more symbolic than that since this is an animal of many evils, responsible, once, centuries ago of the Black Death, which had e-rat-icated Europe's population up to 200 million people. It originated, in China, along the Road silk around 1343.
Nah, it's a mere coincidence, and accidentally, an alignment of the planets. Or, just the way Chinese think to believe: "you're thinking too much."
Welcome to the Rat Year!
New York has 1000 cases now. Washington and California have also many cases. I think it won’t be safe to travel now and USA government blocked many foreigners to enter USA.so even you want to travel , it might not be possible for many foreigners.

This thread was opened some 2 months ago. OP was asking about general safety, not about Ncov infection ...

@ Viki,
i don't think any European country, North America, Australia or NZ would allow you in.
Even the super-wealthy would have problems travelling to any of these counties now.
Europe is closed to any non-European for the next month.
Viki87:
Read my comment, I repeated again that I am not saying I travel now. I only talked gun shot problem in.the USA. what is wrong with you? @sorrel
sorrel:
@viki
you posted a comment recently - in a thread of yours that was possibly removed by
Admin, that you wanted to move to Norway.
I was just pointing out that Europe was closed to non-Europeans (in case you were not aware of that).
is up to you.Try to avoid going to crowded places and pay attention to personal hygiene.It is relatively safe no matter where it is.
