Obligatory COVID (and General Safety) Post

You can't really travel at the moment without talking about COVID. I know people who still won't travel, partly out of fear of getting COVID itself but largely out of the fear of COVID disruptions. That is, having to change flights and hotels if they get sick, losing money on reservations, needing to be hospitalized … Continue reading Obligatory COVID (and General Safety) Post →
