Go ahead and delete this if it's inappropriate, but with close to 200,000 deaths I really get annoyed (pulling punches) by people claiming some sort of media over-reaction to the virus. But to answer the question, it does appear that flying itself isn't unsafe. Now couple that with transit through airports, customs/immigration lines, and other vacation activities, you may be at higher risk. Full disclosure, we have a trip for November, and I'm hoping to go, but planning on not going, because of immigration restrictions or flight schedules. My plan is to just be more cautious than normal, and, bring an N95 mask as well as the regular one, which protects people around me. Yeah, wishy washy answer.
