$5000 massively burned?
That'd approach the deductible for many insurances.
We didn't have Trip Insurance for the two week junket we planned to take a pre-adolescent nephew history buff from the Bay Area to Washington DC and other historical sights along the eastern seaboard in June 2020.
Needless to say, that didn't happen and we wound up forfeiting the price of the flights. No biggie. When we plan such things, losing the money and walking away from a cancellation is part of the planning.
Because if you need to purchase trip cancellation insurance, you really can't afford the travel in the first place.
Just saying.

We were booked for a trip leaving Wednesday as well. First vacation we had insurance for if we cancel. Pretty sure we're going to cancel at this point. It's rather mind numbing how fast life can flip you on your head.
It's been a rather surreal day so far. Please check on anyone you think is off their rocker. I don't want today to happen to anyone else if it can be avoided.
