I think the vax rollout, resultant drop in case count, and resultant drop in deaths, will change that. I’d imagine a lot more people will be traveling, and able to travel, once vaxxed, and the current “covid test required” rules will change to allow, at a minimum, the vaxxed to travel. Regardless of your feelings on the vax/show me your papers, the fact is a lot of people here and abroad will get it, which won’t entirely kill international from its current levels once it becomes “negative test OR vax required.” I’d expect international hampered by covid test requirements to be largely mitigated with a lot of people vaxxed, in the short to medium term. I don’t think we will be at 2019 levels for a while, but we also won’t be at 2020 levels indefinitely either.
