This won’t just affect foreign holidays; it could disrupt the workings of the globalised world.

The Coronavirus loves to travel, by airplane for a quick overtka of the world, by train and car and boot for a finer takeover. And if this virus is totaly conqerd the next pandemic will announce his arrival. The future will never be the same as before covig 19.

Man-Made Diseases Have Destroyed Humanity’s Freedoms.
Dr Rashid Buttar says COVID-19 was made in a Lab & Dr Francis Boyle says COVID-19 is a Bioweapon. Humanity is led to believe there is no Hope or Cure, when there is Hope & Natural Cures, Not Profitable To The Medical Pharmaceuticals Industries. COVID-19 like most Life Threatening Diseases is “ANAEROBIC”, which can be Effectively Killed With “Ozone” & other Oxygen Therapies, which are Suppressed by the FDA, AMA, Medical/Pharmaceuticals Industries.
Newsweek 06/29/2020 suggested a 50% False Positive Rate for COVID-19 TESTS. This is the Science they want you to Trust & Believe In. Read, This Is A Bio-Attack Alert, by Dr Robert B Strecker.
Look Up:
1. Angstrom Mineral Solution of Copper
2. Colloidal Silver
3. Oxygen Therapies
4. Ozone Generators
5. Essential Oils
6. Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide

In the 50's to 70's, relatively few people flew. Flying was something special, like a owning a diamond watch. You had to be able to afford it; otherwise you took local vacations. I never saw this as a problem.

Yes, it was so much more delightful. No security lines. One could breeze from the airport parking lot to the gate, purchase the ticket there and board. In the aircraft, plenty of seating, one could smoke, cigarette packs were given out. Playing cards. It's a total nightmare now. But there were a lot less people then…the violence level wasn't as high. Oh yes, as I recall most people were more cordial back then……………………………

What's the purpose of traveling! The atmosphere
For dinning and leasure
Is not what it used to be!.

Inequality for people who have already got the money to fly. For the poorest, inequality that are extreme where there is no food and shelter they wouldn't care less about overseas holiday. First world problem of not been able to enjoy the freedom of spending their money.

I haven’t been home in over a year. Haven’t seen my family in eight months. Not sure when I’ll see them again. Stuck in Argentina with the borders closed.

Don’t stay in hotels! Hotels only spend 1 hour or less more like 30 minutes or less cleaning a 350 sqft room. I spend 5-7 hours cleaning a 500 sqft space for my Airbnb Guests. Not all host are the same. Some are racists and some do not properly clean. Look for Airbnb super hosts with a rating of 4.5 or higher anything lower is unacceptable.

I have been itching to travel. But then I think it's my responsibility as an American, and a world citizen, not to risk spreading COVID and am still "re-discovering" my local area for the 5th time.
