Someone IDBed from the last flight might find themselves in a hotel for a rather long time, I imagine.
And, then you have to worry about visa overstay. For example, here in the Philippines, I have a 30 day tourist visa from 3/11. If we stayed until the current restrictions expire, that would be 4/15, in which we would have overstayed the conditions of entry. Now, it is possible to get an extension, but Bureau of Immigration offices will be closed, so therefore it would not be possible to get the visa extension.
