And if this virus lasts for 10 years, we should #stayathome until 2030?
Which is why we have to reopen the economy cautiously, minimising the risks of further waves and restricting freedoms in order to manage the risks while running the economy. So travel and tourism is caught right in the middle of that.
At the moment there is a reasonable chance of a successful vaccine, If that bet fails then we move on to living with the virus long term and that will change the shape of international travel among other things, not because of Governments but because of human behaviour.
