My breaking news app says that USA/Canada have agreed to close the border except for trade/commerce and "essential travel". That seems to rule out std RV trips.
Like I said....:B
I guess the commercial and public campground businesses are going to start taking a hit over the end of cross border travel for pleasure.
Wonder how long this global fiasco will last?
China should have to pay reparations for starting it all, if it's found they were somehow negligently involved in it's cause and their initial reaction to it's effects.
I know everyone loves to point fingers but it will not solve this or the next global outbreak. Let`s learn from what we are doing now and the apply it to the next one because if anyone believes this will not happen again...............no country is going to pay any reparations regardless of fault.
Maybe, maybe not, on all counts.

I can guarantee that we'll learn little about this one based on the over reaction to many of the issues it's raised, because so many governments are falling all over themselves to "respond quickly to the crisis". NO world leader wants to have their own "Katrina".
IIRC, we cruised through the last handful of WHO pandemic declarations with little damage finacially or otherwise. The damage in those ones was limited mainly to loss of life. Markets didn't freefall like they are during this one, and it's a strong indicator that doing too much can often be worse than not doing enough.
btw, Canada has formally apologized and paid reparations to several groups under the current, and some past governemnts.

It does happen.
However, I agree with you, and doubt China will see any obligation to do anything, based on past performance.
