5 things I learnt traveling across states in October 2020

I have a confession to make before I start: the reason I am traveling across those states is a very selfish one, purely for myself. Because I wanted it. October 2020 is a month that started with hope, as COVID numbers are going down in parts of the world and more clusters are suppressed before expanding to bigger scale. But as it moved to the later half of the month, US has record high daily positive numbers and Europe is plunging down to potential second waves. But we had planned already and we decided to do it anyway.
