Not too worried about driving myself to a neighboring state and have recently taken a trip to Michigan without any ill effects. However, I have no plans to use public transportation in the immediate future.

If you go anywhere it would be wise to take along chicken soup, and zinc lozenges in case of illness, and your second amendment in case of being attacked. 😉

Well if you live in the northeast, our Democrat Governors have all designated travel to so many other states as requiring mandatory quarantine, that if you go there and travel back, that frankly traveling outside the tri-state area has become a joke. At least if you’re traveling by air. They have essentially erected a soft Berlin Wall type situation where the airlines report to the state health authorities and then you can expect to be routinely “monitored” for 14 to 21 days. Fortunately, they haven’t figured out a way to track people simply driving somewhere. At least not yet. Isn’t socialism grand?

I would drive anywhere. As far as the airlines go no, not because of this virus crap but I’m sure the experience would be more obnoxious than it was prior to. I used to love to fly, lately it has been a unpleasant experience. Over crowded planes, fees for everything, and rude flight attendants.

We usually go to Michigan for the summer, but not this year. Not because of the virus, but because their governor is crazy and we don’t want to get trapped up there.
This is all an attempt to affect the election. It has nothing to do with “keeping us safe”. They couldn’t care less.

I dont use public transportation but have no problems going anywhere by car. Also, I never travel by any means without a lawful firearm. The states that have carry restrictions are never in any travel plans. I just returned from a overnight trip to a neighboring state with no problems at all. Along with my security, I normally pack enough food and water to last my planned trip as well as a complete first aid kit.

I’m retired and of the age of those who should be sheltering in place. Since I don’t have to travel and no where to go anyway, why take a chance on this virus. Too many people out there not considering that this may not affect them but they could still be a carrier. I wear a mask to protect others and see too many people that don’t. When a vaccine is developed I would rather take a chance with it than wandering around.

Not worried about the virus as much as the lunatic’s “running” their local governments straight into war zones. Don’t want to be restricted to when I can come and go on the airlines, so travel by vehicle is the only option I would consider and I’d be very careful about where I go; oh, and I would need to carry an arsenal with me.

My wife and I don’t travel much anymore probably because of our age. However, I think air travel would be our last choice for travel. The reason being crowded in a confined space. I am a former u.s.n. vet. and was an air crewman so flying in itself isn’t the issue. I think for now we’ll stick to driving.

I think this is the wrong question. The REAL question is, “Do YOU feel comfortable travelling significant distance from home for the remainder of the year?”
The way it is worded, it makes it sound like how confident we are that travel will rebound to previous levels. I am not at ALL confident of that. I would love to travel, but what will be open when I get there?”
That’s the real question.

This virus upticks pretty much got started by the riots in all the major cities. I believe it’s being done on purpose just to keep up the momentum. I saw a bumper sticker that says Democrats serve the people. Oh really!! Are they serving us by open borders, constitution dismantling, refunding law enforcement, taxing everything to death, free everything in regards to health care, college tuition or whatever else they think of. Also, the New Green deal. Illuminate fossil fuel in 10 years. Take away your car, can’t fly as they want to do away with that. How are they going to deliver the goods when the truckers, railroads, etc. won’t have fuel to function. It will destroy a lot of industry because of this, not to mention that all these workers will not be able to find the pension system, let alone their own pensions. All this amounts to their own selfish desires and total control over all. That’s not serving the people.

Since we are RV’ers, we just go where we want to go. However, we live out west and travel is (so far) unhampered.
An interesting aside – my wife had to take a class in how to ‘flush’ my PIIC line (I’m in Houston, TX undergoing chemo treatment for leukemia) and at the end, the nurse said the MOST important thing to do amid all this insanity is to wash your hands – a lot. That, and try not to touch your face. The masks are almost worthless! Gee, some common sense from a medical professional.

Can’t wear masks, so traveling is futile. It doesnt help that the places we wanted to go see aren’t even open, so what’s the point. We have to travel to take our daughter to college and I’m not allowed on campus. The fakes news and left’s agenda have taken our way of life from us. Tell the truth. Deaths are way down and numbers of tested are way up, making the percentage of those with Covid, low. They choose to not tell the whole truth though just to destroy President Trump and this country.

I never fly, so don’t much care about that. I’d rather drive. This will likely be the last summer or year that we don’t need a state to state passport to travel to other states. After the Bolsheviks take over next year, traveling will become as difficult as in Germany or Europe during WW2. The Marxists want everyone to have a life of drudgery working as an assigned slave for peanuts, no after work life and complete servitude to their gracious dictates. You can see how this will happen as so many have bowed down to the masking and distancing stupidity all in the name of a FAKE and contrived pandemic.
