Re: Eternal Question--

I don't think so. I think the question would be, where do I find food, water, and shelter?

Beyond that, I really don't know how the pandemic will affect travel. We are still in the early stages; this coronavirus mutates quickly, and is highly transmissable. Since people can transmit it without knowing they have it, only programs like Germany's with good tracking and isolation of people who are incubating the disease can quell the growth of the numbers of cases. What will happen in the US seems lacking in consistency, and will result in a high growth rate of cases. It appears as if --although the information is out there -- it is so scary that people really don't want to take it in, trying to hide from what cannot be seen, minimize their danger, rather than confronting it. That policy is causing more health care workers' infections. It is a tragic situation.

Only if you restrict the possible answers to a well defined set of options.

Hmmmm...you’re right, “well defined” kinda rules that option out.
