Going full steam ahead with camping plans without accessing the future situation is silly.
Why? What's wrong with being optimistic with the understanding that plans may have to change? No one is pretending things are "hunky dory". Optimism is what gives us hope, keeps us going and helps us look forward to the future. Without optimism we would never hope to go to college, apply for a new job or get married. Being optimistic is also being realistic-things change and optimism accepts that. The only "reasonable precaution" one needs to take is accepting that disappointment may be on the horizon.
My brother and I are considering a two week trip in February to Yuma for some sun and golf.
We are both ancient and have underlying health issues.
I am wondering if this is a good idea. It could be even worse by then?
Could be worse but also could be better if the vaccine is available. Make your plans, minimize your losses with regard to cancellation policies, etc., and go for it. You need to do a risk/reward analysis and decide if it's better to sit on the couch or move forward.
