Department of State should step in to restore fearless travel conditions as the pandemic is a situation preventing people actually practice statutorily guaranteed freedom to travel. EDIT: I looked up; the Department of Health or the Department of State would be more fit for purpose. Not the Department of Homeland Security, because TSA is actually a Travel Security Agency despite it is named Travel Safety Agency.

> Department of Interior should step in to restore fearless travel conditions as the pandemic is a situation preventing people actually practice statutorily guaranteed freedom to travel. In spirit I don’t disagree but how can the Department of the Interior do this? What is the specific action? Also why would The Department of the Interior be responsible for travel conditions rather than something like The Department of Transportation? E: I still don’t follow, what action can be taken by any agency to make travel fearless in time of pandemic? Department of State carries out U.S. foreign policy. What can they do to change the reality of a pandemic?

  > I still don’t follow, what action can be taken by any agency to make travel fearless in time of pandemic? Government information advertisement (something like you still have right to life and freedom of travel, pandemic doesn't change that, followed by advice on safe travel without risking someone else's health), conscription, personal protective equipment distribution.

        Sure but what does it have to do with encouraging travel during a pandemic?

        Conscripts to temporarily replace deceased and/or incapacitated government servants. Government service cannot be stopped completely.

        What? Replace who? To do what? How does conscription of government employees from any department change the reality of a pandemic? Travel is not safe. That’s the whole point. We need to ramp up testing and find a vaccine. We do not need to encourage travel. Quite the opposite.

    Encouraging people to travel is the last thing we need right now.
