Maybe I am missing something, but it seems to me that hte number of
assumptions one has to make to conclude that we should move the location
for the late 2022 meeting is much higher than I would think appropriate
for planning purposes.

I just saw a news item that said US had eased restrictions from EU
countries maybe this was what was bothering Stewart.
These things keep changing,
I have seen a number of reports both ways, one that the UK PM was
trying to negotiate a reduction in the US travel ban, but on the other
hand there are a lot of fairly recent reports that US was going to keep
them in place until after the mid-terms to avoid political blowback.
Many European countries are open to US and China travellers whereas the
US is closed to both.
Whilst we cannot predict the future with certainty, current behaviour is
at least a hint of future behaviour. If the more open countries shut
down again then it seems likely that the US will not open so the point
is moot. However going to a place that is open at the moment seems like
a better bet than betting that the US politicians will take an election
risk if that is indeed the driver.
