Just watch a porn. When you're finished you'll be glad you saved the money.

Do whatever you feel comfortable doing. Nobody can make that decision but you.

If it was up to me I would fly and would have zero problems doing so. Flew back in June & July and have another flight coming up over Labor Day weekend. Flights are dirt cheap right now.

2. Ride by train in a separate sleeping compartment - the virus risk may be just as bad, since I'd be in an enclosed space with passengers for 20 hours.


Get a sleeper car. You have a separate compartment to yourself. And included meals. Best way to travel.

Better work on your oral skills before you leave.

I am ok with flying.... but my girlfriend is paranoid about it. Looks like I may be driving 15 hours.

Have you considered jetpack? What about teleportation?

You have to think outside the box in these troubling times.

I think death by auto accident would be the bigger risk when driving 1,000 miles compared to anything else

My 16 year old daughter has flown 4 times during this super scary pandemic. Suck it up.

Right now is the best time ever to fly. None of the airlines are booking full flights, and the airports are pretty much a ghost town. Only drawback is most airlines require you to wear a mask the whole flight, and some of the flight attendants are pretty adamant that you cover your mouth and nose for the whole flight.

I flew over most of the country a few weeks ago and it was very safe. Delta had people spaced appropriately. Been tested twice since i got back, nada.

They had a mask requirement but it was loosely applied

In 6 flights, we had one FA who did this. The rest didnt care. Lots of folks had masks below nostrils. Airpots werent packed but were still pretty busy. Just space yourself and youll be fine.

On a full two-hour flight, the odds of contracting the virus are 1/4300, according to a recent article from Bloomberg, and if the middle seat is left empty, there's about a 1/7700 person chance you'll catch it.Depending on factors like age and pre-existing health conditions, the odds of dying from a case contracted in flight are even lower, Barnett found, between 1 in 400,000 and 1 in 600,000.


No shite the odds of dying are less than contracting it
