> How much are they going to keep waiving?
This seems like a silly question. If they're already waiving, it's likely they'll continue to do so as long as the travel restrictions are in place. The first waiver seems like a pretty clear "we're not idiots" signal.
Not that you need car insurance if you're stuck at home...

It's likely it'll get better as the initial supply shock eases and supply chains recover. It's not like we're all suddenly eating twice as much food - we just bought more than usual all at once.

insurance law nitpick: there are countries where not having an insurance active will cost you dearly just for that fact alone even if the car happily sits in a walled-off garage.
