If you can find a flight back to the US, I would seriously consider that. Yes, the situation is getting worse here, but it’s not uniformly bad. And if you wait another week or two, it will be worse. I’d consider renting a standalone AirB&B cabin or something in a state away from the coasts that isn’t densely populated. Something like Wyoming or Montana. Rent a car for a month. Stock up on groceries. Get a ton of Kindle books. Stay away from people. If you like fishing, find a place where that is an option. Or if you like hiking...
