Laurie Pearcy, director of administration for a Minneapolis law firm, is flying to New Orleans to attend her daughter’s bridal shower and have a small Thanksgiving dinner with her son.
“This is my first flight since December 2019, so yes, I have concerns,” he said. “But I think most airlines are acting responsibly now and enforcing masks on all flights.” “There is so much community transmission all over the United States that the chances of you encountering somebody that has COVID-19 is actually very, very high, whether it’s on an airplane, at the airport or at a rest area,” said Dr. Syra Madad, an infectious-disease epidemiologist for New York City hospitals.
Josh Holman and his family were planning to fly to Lake Tahoe and spend Thanksgiving with his brother, who lives in San Francisco, and his parents, who live in North Dakota. But they scrapped those plans. “No part of a major international trip seems safe at this point,” Zuniga said. The pair plans to make video calls to family and stream the Detroit Lions football game on Thanksgiving Day.
Some thoughts for holiday travelers:
Let's NOT FORGET the months of Protesters allover the streets. As well as Biden voters coming out into the streets for celebrating. No one should stop living life. JUST LIVE.
Isn't there another event that is soon after Thanksgiving? Hmmm....🤔
If nothing else, this pandemic has shown the world what most of them already suspected: 'American exceptionalism' is nothing more than a hollow claim made by the world's most spoiled and fragile population.
You can, but not by getting on a plane. If you pick it up on the plane, your family will have it before you even know you have it. Not a good idea.
Because they are tired of all the bullshit.
Florida here. Numbers started going up about a week after the Trump rallies. Snowbirds probably not as much of an issue.
Sadly they won't know who had it before traveling, who caught it on a plane, or who caught it from people they were visiting. Negative test b4 doesn't mean negative next day, or two days...
California made it legal to knowingly infect someone with HIV without telling them first. So I don't really think I'm gonna listen to the government talk about disease anymore.
Millions of ignorant fools are traveling for Thanksgiving because they do not care about the lives of those they claim to lobe or anyone else for that matter. Shame on them all.
Also, students are returning home from college until the Spring semester, so there's that. They don't have much choice about that.
LIVE FREE OR DIE
Good!
I would be willing to bet the death rate will remain totally flat just like it has for weeks. Case counts don't mean shit.
They are selfish
Wear masks, social distance, and make good decisions. Happy Thanksgiving.
Const_Overhaul And some are checking into a hotel to have Thanksgiving dinner with 700+ strangers. For real.
It's not family people are traveling for. It's the food.
Thank you so much, asshole selfish people. Really appreciate the high regard you have of yourselves. 🖕
December and January are going to be unbelievably bad.
Freedom is chaotic and messy. Freedom should be protected at all times in all things.
Dumbfuckistan
And even more will die just because these selfish “Me! Me! Me!” fools can’t put the safety of others ahead of their own greediness.
NWO
I pray for their health and everyone they come in contact with. Mom and Aunt of 2 Frontline Healthcare Providers. I pray even harder for all hospital staff. Staffis essential. Your travel for turkey is not. Healthy people get Coronavirus. Dr Fauci, 'The Virus is in Charge.' MASK
And so many will be tragically wrong.
Stupid, stupid, stupid
Now multiply that by all the people outside the US doing exactly the same thing this Christmas... it's going to get crazy. Better pray the vaccine comes out sooner than later. Stay safe everyone.
Americans, selfish? Who would have guessed.
Uhhh, both airports we visited were ghost towns.
pxwhittle
Idiots.
Good
_Images Close the borders. Like Italians.
Folks still spread STD's because they don't use condoms. Death and disease cannot kill the spirit of doing whatever the Hell you want to....obviously
I'm surprised at why intelligent and independent people need AP to tell them what and how to think
dumbasses
The only to prevent Americans from traveling is to shut down airports. The virus will continue to spread.
Shameful
Craziness that thousands and thousands are dying yet millions of American's are crowding airports... 🤔
Stupidity on the road
I guess time will tell arrogance
The selfishness of this is astounding. How many people aren’t gonna get to see Christmas because of this?
MoronsRus
Americans are just proving how selfish they are.
People who are traveling, unless you are traveling with an oxygen tank, even with a mask, you are still breathing recycled air for that time you are on the plane. Stop being selfish StayHomeForThanksgiving
I'm also going to guess that a lot of these travelers are anti-maskers, so cue the 'fights on flights' videos in 3... 2... 1...
Stay home, Pennsylvanians, or else...
What happy times these travelers remember at Thanksgiving 2020, will be turned into Christmas sickness and possibly death of a loved one. In addition, hospital care workers who are stretched to the limit now, might be unable to care for the oncoming onslaught . Selfish to go!
“Safely” yeah sure, packed like sardines breathing the same air for hours 😒
Rootless self-appointed technocrats don’t get to cancel the holidays
Why we cant have nice things. Like a Covid-free 2021.
And no one died of the flu this year!
The US is ridiculous
cool cool, lots more people will die just in time for christmas!
Government of blue states not worried. New some partying with no mask.
I'm sure the Canadians thought they could do it safely too... 🤦♂️
