Travel advice

Might have to make a trip to Houston very soon (first week of november), but several things make me nervous. I was wondering if yins could clear up some things to make my mind a little bit more at peace. 1. Pandemic 2. Rioting 3. Weather 4. Election week .If i was to be staying downtown for a full week, would it be best for me to stay home and just try next year? edit: excuse the formatting I was never good at that.
