I can't imagine wanting to get on a plane or stay in a crowded place right now. It surprises me how many people are comfortable with the idea of and even eager to vacation during a pandemic. How long will it take you to be comfortable traveling?
I live in Hawaii and our incidents of active cases & deaths have been low, relative to our population size. A lot of this is due to the travel restrictions and closing of hotels, short-term vacation rentals, rental cars, etc. The absence of mass tourism has been super obvious on the road & ocean & air. Our state government is slowly opening up businesses and implementing masking & distance requirements.
Unlike other states that are going through armed protests, Hawaii has held more to a "we are cooperating to take care of each other" attitude. Nearly 1 in 5 residents are aged 65 or older, multi-generational homes are common. A really touchy subject now is what we are going to do about tourism. Currently, visitors and returning residents are being required to quarantine for 14 days; they must have groceries/food delivered. No leaving unless for a medical emergency. Visitors without a verifiable place to stay are sent back on the next flight. If you break quarantine, you can be arrested & fined.
