In case I had still need to pay the change fee, think it might make sense to wait another week in case another change fee waiver will be applied for additional travel dates?
If you aren't traveling by the 18th, I don't think you have a better option than waiting at this point.

Change fees are waived...fare difference is not. Still pretty weak as a waiver. But that seems to be standard operating procedure of late.
Good catch, I misread it the first time.
