It will be interesting to see how and when things resume for travel. But it's also going to be interesting to see if restrictions that we've been seeing will also be applied for other communicable diseases. India, for example, has a couple million TB infections a year and maybe 200,000-400,000 people die annually in India from TB. India has its own form of lock-downs in place currently for this novel coronavirus, but even with hundreds of thousands of annual TB deaths in India, travel to/from/within India continued even around 2016 when the annual deaths from TB were closer to a half-million people than to a quarter-million people. Maybe infection-related travel bans/restrictions will become more varied and common than was the case for most of us in 2019 and not be limited to just this coronavirus?
