No travel plans, but let just say that I wouldn’t even book a first class price mistake traveling through the region or with passengers from the region. Not going south because of Zika was easy (fun fact, got a bad flu on a flight when every outlet was talking about it and was treated as a potential Zika patient at the ER until tests came back) but this is going to be a tough one if it doesn’t peak until May or June!

One might avoid catching the coronavirus that way, but might acquire an acute form of OCD.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly are you concerned about if you’re not going near China.
Is it the FA’s you’re worried about it or is it the passengers on the return flight most likely connecting from China?

What about the age old advice of making sure your hands never go above your neckline?

Whatever number the chinese say have been infected multiply it by 10 for the real number.

Did the virus spread to Hong Kong?

If it's not in Hong Kong, not sure I'd be worried about taking a flight on a HKG based airline. You could always purel down the seat etc.

If the trip is purely optional, may be just unnecessary to take the risk.

How's the Chinese economy not going to collapse if this goes on much longer?
