In the US, the rate of passport holding is pretty low.. life can return to “normal” here without a lot of international travel. Those who travel internationally may be a different subset when it comes to “back to normal”.
Edit: “According to Census and State Department data, 21.4 million passports were issued in 2016, which is the most ever. That means 42 percent of Americans hold a passport, a growth of 15 percent since 2007. In 1990, only four percent of Americans had one.”

- jasonv 6y agoI’d like to travel, but I’ll wait until it’s defensibly sane. It’s not like I want to visit other places that are locked down, too.
- ghaff 6y agoI don't know the date it changed but you didn't used to need a passport to go to Mexico or Canada. (Technically you just need a passport card today but birth certificate is no longer enough.)
