On the Road Again

In March 2020, I flew home to Australia from the US. It was a time of great uncertainty, and it now seems like a very long time ago: I was in the US when the country had its first confirmed case of coronavirus, Donald Trump was still president, and Joe Biden was floundering badly in the early Democratic primaries for the presidential nomination. At the time, Mike Bloomberg looked as if he were the man most likely; I was in Montgomery, Alabama, when Biden turned it all around on Super Tuesday.

On my way home, half of the airport at LAX was closed, and on my flight was a family whose version of personal protective gear involved wearing multiple garbage bags secured by rubber bands. It was impossible to buy masks in the US before my departure, and no-one on our flight of nearly 400 people was wearing a mask.

I have encountered many dangerous situations in a lifetime of travel. But perhaps the most dangerous of them all was to fly halfway across the globe in the midst of a global pandemic. A few days after my return, Australia’s borders slammed shut behind me.
