  • We - my partner and I - halted traveling for pleasure a few years before the plague so as to avoid culpability in what appeared (and increasingly appears) an inevitability. Skipping weddings, funerals, a one-hundredth birthday, etc has personal costs. Those costs or sacrifices are not going to be borne by most people. Planes will fly full and traffic will jam until the end. In Alaska we can order a single jumbo bag of packing peanuts from Amazon for less than the cost of three of those at Lowe’s. Presumably Lowe’s brings them up much more efficiently on a barge. We pay extra; most do not and will not. It’s complicated, but not really.
