I’ll be 63 in a couple of weeks, we’re taking a vacation to Jamaica. I think it’s all been over hyped. If I were 20’s, and had the time, I’d go everywhere while the tickets are cheap.
In many ways I agree with you.
But I will not discount a father’s concern over the safety of his daughter.
Also, to consider is the over hype of the situation. If you travel to a place on vacation and while you are gone our government bans travel to and from the place you have gone on vacation, your return trip could get complicated.
You could end up spending two weeks or more in a quarantine facility after you get back to the US.
Just because they are wrong doesn’t mean they won’t make your life miserable.
