The WHO today stated that travel bans cannot continue indefinitely and shall be reconsidered in favour of risk mitigation measures during travel. Is this just because someone will be upset if they don't get their annual week at the beach and will have to instead "act as a grown-up and stay close to home"? Absolutely no. Travel and holidays support an immense number of livelihoods. In many cases, entire countries rely on tourism because they hardly have any other industries. How do you tell all those people "sorry, folks, in the new normal we don't travel anymore, go find some other way of making ends meet"? What are they going to do? Grow potatoes where the hotels, restaurants etc once stood and revert to natural economy? And those people are in the sort of numbers which make any airline lay-off look rather insignificant.
