Personally would stay where I was, assumming host Govt was happy, find a place and sit it out.

Might as well die in place on holidays rather than in UK where Drs can't look after you and hospitals are overrun with disease.
Doesn't that depend on where you are, whether you believe law and order are likely to be maintained, that food and other essential resources will remain available, that you can afford whatever extra it is costing, that hospitals are likely to be able to look after you and that you can ignore the near-overwhelming natural need to be back with your family?

As an aside, if there is one thing that this crisis has polarised, it's the rush to judge.
