And so is jetting off somewhere for holidays.. realistically we need to cut down so much to survive, but so far everyone is working on "it's future society's problem".

Only when the threat of death was within weeks did humans actually react with lockdowns, etc...

It's going to be interesting when we go back to the normal human behavior of dying within 50 miles of where we were born.

I can see a lot of people posting on this forum telling their grandkids, "I actually saw the Eiffel Tower in person, once. Yes, really! There was this thing called 'tourism'."

Well, governments quickness to full shutdowns, lockdowns, and travel bans across the world has made international travel much more less likely for myself, which sucks because I would've liked to see the world.

So maybe that's happening more regardless.
