The guy you originally replied to mentioned "travel bans," not lockdowns. I think we're focused on travel here.
Yes - that was me and it was indeed "travel ban", not lockdowns. The latter has been attempted across Canada in various forms and doesn't seem to be working terribly well. Folks are confused, miserable and our numbers - infection and deaths - are still climbing.
I think @Lorenzoid summarizes it quite well: "By not traveling even to places where Covid is widespread, I am doing my little bit. It's like recycling, not wasting tap water, and other such endeavors where the contribution of any given individual makes almost zero difference, but collectively it can make a difference."
I know all of this will look different in the rear view mirror. But we've got a bunch more speed bumps to navigate in the weeks and months to come. Buckle up....
