Travel and Covid19

What are people’s views on travel at the moment? I’m due to go to Amsterdam with my friend for a few days in August. Obviously I’ll be vigilant with hand washing and social distancing where possible but I can’t imagine the place will be heaving with folk like it usually is. Am I being too fearless? ...
