@herbert967:
Anyone have any travel plans after Covid is over-ish and countries start opening up?
Would you go back to travelling? hesitant to travel? Can't wait? What do you think will happen in our new world when it comes to travel.
I personally can't wait to travel again, I would take more precautions in airplanes, but not sure if I would travel wearing a mask the whole time.
I had lots of plans for 2020 that evaporated…and yes, I want things to get back to "normal" soon, but that's not going to happen until there's a vaccine. I'm not holding my breath--we've been waiting almost 40 years for a vaccine against HIV, and we still don't have one.
I live mostly in the US right now, and I'm quite sure that there's going to be a resurgence of Covid19 here as a result of premature "reopening." Things will get locked down again, and perhaps in early 2021 things will begin to normalise. We'll still need social distancing, and air travel will likely still involve masks...and I can't imagine ten hours or more with a mask on. I used to travel between London and Johannesburg quite often, and I won't do that if I have to be masked. I also don't know what the air travel industry will be like after almost a year of virtual shutdown. It's not going to be pretty.
I hope I'm wrong in my predictions...I have family in UK, Switzerland, Australia...all over the place...and I very much like visiting them. I echo your sentiment that "I can't wait," but I'm going to have to. It sucks...and not in the good way.
