Although the global spread of COVID-19 has clearly resulted in a great deal of health, economic, and supply anxieties for Americans at home, it has introduced a different kind of stress for those traveling abroad.

Given the heightened tensions, particularly for travelers, one might expect that we're living in a very different time from the days when people thought it was a good idea to lick ice cream and put it back last year.
But while that may be true for most, it appears that some people both at home and abroad have upped the ante despite an ongoing pandemic.
