I take anecdotes about people booking travel plans with something of a grain of salt. For the right price, I might book something for the fall if the price were right AND it was fully cancelable. (Probably not if it involved paying up front though as there are too many things that could go wrong at this point.)

And to add a new perspective, over here in Europe we've also started thinking in terms of "if the second wave catches me in a different country while vacationing will I be able to come back in my home country more or less easily?"

The answer to that question has been a definite "no" for lots of people during this latest and recent first wave (which has now started retreating a little) and I suspect lots of people will think twice before vacationing in a different country (even if that second country it's also in the Schengen area).

Yes. That would make me far more hesitant to travel internationally than actual fear of catching the virus or just having trip plans messed up because of closures. It's vaguely possible I'll do it for business in the fall in the unlikely case that a particular event is held physically. At least, my expenses aren't an issue in that case. But I'm likely to stick to US and likely just driving.
