Traveling during COVID-19

i know it's not safe but sometimes we really need to travel

Better to travel someplace where there are few people. Maybe camping in remote places. Take all the food and drink you’ll need for your whole trip if possible.

Don’t go to the states that are experiencing new highs in covid hospitalizations, like Arizona, Arkansas, California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Travel carefully and safely.

Hey c'mon man you know it's no different than the seasonal flu, and even if it isn't, it'll be gone here in a few weeks just wait....
 
I had small bakery in center of the city. I were forced to close it. I have lost my single income. Only in July we get permission to restart working, but with only one requirement. Everyone from staff should to do coronavirus antigen test about which we found out due to this site https://www.confirmbiosciences.com/covid19-sars-antigen-rapid-swab-tests/. Think that it is right, I always care about health of my subordinates and even payed for tests for them. Everyone did his test at home, mo one was needed to do in hospital. In few hours I have got all results in WhatsApp and we were ready to open. Of course we always wear masks and keep the social distance

One of my sons and a friend traveled from NY to Louisiana and back in July. I don't remember all the states they stopped in/went through but all or most of them are so called hot spots. They were careful, wore masks, social distanced, etc. and were fine. My wife and I traveled from NY to NC to visit my other son who recently moved there. Went through NJ, Del, Va, into NC. One stop on the way down at a KOA cabin because we were towing a trailer and it took 14 hours going slow and carefully. The cabin is small and easy to wipe down with Lysol wipes. We didn't go to many places while there but wore masks, etc. when we did go out. We did not stop on the way home except for gas/bathroom breaks. We had no problems either and are fine. I'd say travel as you wish but be cautious.
 
Traveling can be possible during COVID 19. People are actually got panicked during this pandemic and that's why tourism got dead worldwide.

But still so many people are traveling to their favorite destinations. So If you're planning for it then keep yourself protected and follow all safety norms then all will be fine.
 
I'm a frequent traveler and due to Covid i could not travel anywhere and I'm missing my travelling days.
Same here! Just before the lockdown I planned to visit loads of places but it ruined all my plans unfortunately. After the 1st lockdown was over my fellow real estate agent managed to visit Antarctica via https://poseidonexpeditions.com/antarctica/. He stayed there for about 2 weeks and on arriving to LA he confessed that the trip brought him a whole bunch of excellent emotions. Now Antarctica is my dream destination #1 :frog:

Recent travel observations:
Good hotels (Holiday inn, Hilton/Hampton, etc) are taking covid seriously and post info on their websites about their practices. Such as requiring masks in all public places, distancing, hand sanitizer placed around lobbies and other public spots, no breakfast buffets but they make you a plate to eat in a distanced setting or a takeout box, rooms are extra sanitized and the door is sealed with a break-away tab, every other room is unoccupied, no daily maid service.

Now that covid is spiking again, and more states are mandating masks etc, I noticed in CA, NV, UT that most people are complying at highway rest stops, gas stations, in grocery and retail stores. But there always are a few freedom lovers who refuse to mask up. But if you do your own due diligence you should be OK.
 
I have traveled to Dubai and Egypt three times. There were no restrictions. The mask must be constantly worn and that's it!
 
Well I leave for Arizona from Hawaii this Sunday for work and supposed to come back next Sat.

Going there no problem. But coming back will be a pain. Negative test or I gotta quarantine. Going to make the holidays fun.

Hope to visit Russia via Vodohod for a change one day ;) Looked through their site. I liked the pics from the cruises very much!

Agree with you completely! It is not a good idea to travel to crowded places, not safe.

I’ve been flying all over the place on full flights. I wear an N95 and don’t worry at all. But I’m also vaccinated.
 
Be nice to hit Mexico come winter, been a warm winter here a couple days it snowed but melted. Will go on vacation within Canada, probably West coast.
Pretty much back to normal here, city train is packed at rush hour. Thing is, with social distancing they never added a 4th rail car, just crazy. I got my routine down, no big deal. Lots of fishing, little train use, no bus use but will have to use the bus if I want to bring my ebike to Vancouver. I just broke the frame of my front hub ebike, its a bicycle shaped object about one half step up from a Walmart bike. Luckily I have spare bicycle and a mid drive, Cyclone about 5HP LOL, I am not joking. The BBSHD's are 1kw, probably pump them up to 1.5-2kw for a hill. Thats all I've been doing, riding my ebike and fishing.

Covid is getting old real fast. Government messed up with mixed dosage recommendation, luckily I got both the same and 3rd coming up soon. The proof of vax is a joke, Photoshop will do for local gyms/restaraunts etc. Canada has 12 or 13 different health care systems, each province/territory has their own, and so their own proof of vax, its a joke. I didnt want to get my proof of vax, but me and a bud hit the bar and grill for some grub and it was packed. VLT addicts had their glazy eyes glued on the flashy lights, drinkers were pounding back the drinks and me eating meat on Keto lost 100 lbs in 8 months, half assing the diet with lots of cheat dates but the no bread, no flour, no sugar thing helped tremendously. Throw in intermittent fasting and the hunger isnt there like carb loading.

Congrats for losing that 100lbs. That’s awesome. You probably reduced your chances of dying from COVID more than the vaccine ever did.
 
This is an old thread, but I had one of those fancy Secretary of State letters for my job, since I was extremely in the essential category…. (Which is dumb, everything is essential or it wouldn’t exist…..)

Anyway, I kinda miss how uncrowded the roads and interstates were during lockdown. It was super nice. I never had to show my letter in the inter mountain region. Not only that, but there weren’t any cops. Anywhere. It was spooky. I never saw a local city, county, or state trooper anywhere for almost a month…… take that one for what it’s worth.
