As a Canadian, there is a small but nonzero chance that I would go to an event in the US, in normal times. These are not normal times, and I will not set foot in the country.

Just to clarify, by “that’s the difference” you don’t mean you’d travel to Qatar or Russia, but that the situation is new in the US but not new in Russia and Qatar, right?
There’s no chance that I would travel to Qatar or Russia, but living in Canada there’s a good chance I would have traveled to the US (I’ve probably gone there between 5 and 10 times in my life).
Now there is little chance that I will visit the US in the foreseeable future.
