Hello all, would love to consult the hivemind's opinion before making a decision:

What's the vibe/gut feeling regarding transit around September time?

Long version:
I was due to travel LHR-PVG-TYO next month with China Eastern. Of course cancelled. I can either get a full refund or move the flights to September. If moved and the foreign entry bans are still in place in September, I will lose the flights. However, I confirmed with my insurance that they will pay me back so money is not a concern.

I've already caught coronavirus and recovered. I don't recommend this experience to anyone. But at least, health is no concern either.

I was also very much looking forward to visiting Shanghai on my 8 hour layover as I have never been. I got the cheapest J tickets one will ever find and will not get this deal again, and this will guarantee my gold renewal or possibly even platinum this year, but all in all it's 3 months from now, which seems like too soon. Still very much uncertain about the whole thing, any opinions welcome!
