My European friends are telling me that nobody they know there is currently willing to travel to the US and that for some of them there are institutional barriers in place (including issues of the security of institution-owned electronics) that prevent them from doing so. I have also talked to Canadians who have stopped attending conferences they would otherwise travel to in the US. Meanwhile there are also many people within the US who are unable to leave for fear of not being allowed to return.
