The problem as I see it is a collision between advancing age and potential self-quarantine periods to travel to other countries. I see this virus circulating over the next 4 years, and the entire world shutting off from itself to fight it.

While C19 is far more easily transmitted than SARS or MERS was, also much lower death rate.    Ebola had highest rate, but pretty limited in spread, and attacks so fast that the epidemic quickly dies out.   If we get the worst attributes of each - easy transmission, slow development, 10% death rate, then we get that scenario you present.   And that would be the end for happy leisurely travel.   You'd have to commit to moving to a place and doing quarantine.
