I'm still in Howard Hughes-lite mode. The grandkids came over for the first time in 3+ months so I got to hold / hug them. -- (edited) - JaxSean Jun 10, 13:40
I still plan to take Amtrak back (in a roomette). I've done my one (necessary to me) flight for now. -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 13:36 1
- Are you quarantining for the next 2 weeks at a hotel? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 10, 13:42
We booked our first flight this morning. -- nm - John Murphy Jun 10, 13:35 1
- Headed to Florida to see my gramma. -- nm - John Murphy Jun 10, 13:36
As much as I really want to travel somewhere, I'm not even close to wanting to fly yet. -- nm - sycor Jun 10, 13:31
Travel writers are posting images of full planes. It's terrifying. -- nm - David Jun 10, 13:31 3
- In general, flying seems to be coming back a bit faster than airlines expected and airline schedules aren't necessarily catching up with that yet. - ty97 Jun 10, 13:33 2
  - Yeah, my company has absolutely NO non-essential travel at this time. - Perceval Jun 10, 13:37
  - feds have made 300m on the stocks they are holding to prop up travel industry -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 10, 13:36
I"m not ready yet. Thanks for being a guinea pig! -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 13:29 8
- I have six other guinea pigs ahead of me. Many of them long hauls to Europe or SA too! -- nm - JackDawson Jun 10, 13:29 7
  - SA is a hot spot. Good luck. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 13:31
  - WUT -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 13:30 5
    - I told you. Michelle flew to London (over a month ago) and I just found out Octavio and husband to some Caribbean resort — ok I exaggerated with SA -- nm - JackDawson Jun 10, 13:33 3
      - You are less reliable than the WHO -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 13:35 2
        
        The point is none of it is necessary even in the loosest sense of that word and it’s not a one hour flight -- nm - JackDawson Jun 10, 13:36 1
        
        I know what you mean. I'm not taking flights for vacation right now. - ty97 Jun 10, 13:37
    - He is clearly sending you, somewhere. - Spawn Jun 10, 13:31
I heard that airliner airflow is not as bad as, say, an office or a restaurant, for covid spread. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 13:28 12
- We're doing a human experiment on that right now. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 13:29 1
  - Not sure I'd want to be that volunteer. -- nm - sycor Jun 10, 13:31
- From the WHO? Or from who?! -- nm - JackDawson Jun 10, 13:29 9
  - From some rando on twitter. I should've included that bit. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 13:30 8
    - Probably from us. -- nm - The Airline Industry Jun 10, 13:32 7
      - yes it was, glorious graphics showing how each chair has its own HVAC system, yup nobody is rebreathing air 3 or 4 times all the way down the tube -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 10, 13:35
      - We KNOW the air is “managed” in planes and casino. What that means for corona I haven’t even the first notion -- nm - JackDawson Jun 10, 13:34 5
        
        We only have preliminary data (hi guinea pig!) but it's been proven in Asian studies that infections inside restaurants correlates with HVAC flow. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 13:36 4
        
        Is there a link or study or it’s just informal? -- nm - JackDawson Jun 10, 13:42 1
        
        I guess we're all researching it after the roll. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 13:44
        
        That has been challenged, hasn't it? -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 13:42
        
        Max posted a great link he should repost re this. Max!!!! Hit it! -- nm - amanda Jun 10, 13:38
