Is It Safe To Fly To Visit Ill, Elderly Parents? | MSNBC
In Florida a TSA agent confirmed positive for COVID19
FIRST!
ahh-choo!
Even you are currently healthy, if you are traveling by air, your odds of bringing a virus to the people you’re visiting are way too high. The airports are the probably the last place anyone should be right now.
Sound advice
You’re probably right. I was gonna fly to Philly but decided to wait till further notice.
Trump needs to put america on lockdown like Spain to stop the spread of the virus. Long as people are going along with there daily life the virus will spread until movement is halted.
The reality we all need to face is that a significant portion of us will eventually get coronavirus. 1 in 6 world-wide got H1N1 in 2009-2010. And that had a mortality rate of 0.001-0.007%.
Covid 19 is at least an order of magnitude more deadly – based on VERY limited data.
Stay safe everyone!
Hello!!! It’s not safe to visit elderly parents. PERIOD.
Is Joe Biden still sniffing kids?
Is water still wet?
You’re the one with that thought in your head. Maybe turn yourself into the police?
@Margaret Nicol
No Margaret, normal people would never ever support a creeper like Joe Biden. No matter how enthusiastically Bernie is going to endorse him in the coming days.
IT’S NOT SAFE TO VISIT ANYONE!!!
Look at the photos of 40,000 people standing crammed into O’Hare airport sharing the virus in confined spaces. Practice Social Distancing and don’t risk being a CARRIER!!!
ALL SENIOR CITIZEN HOMES ARE CLOSED TO ANY VISITORS
IS MSNBC STUPID?
YES
Mmmm NO

Surely you won’t be missed, after the virus takes your breath away.
@john smith I’m not in Italy
Now is the time to panic. Coronasaurus rules 🦖
Nobody listen to uncle fester Fake fester
Was that a real question or just milking it?
Getting on a plane with another 100 or so people seems like a fantastic way to catch the virus if you do not have it or spread it if you do and do not know it. Feel for those that have family abroad but the best way to keep yourself safe and them safe from those that may have it is to stay home.
NO it is not safe to get on a plane just to walk around inside it alone !
Ifcyou gave to ask, then dont expose yourself ! Honestly. Use your brain
it’s a couple of hours, drive, don’t fly…
No Everyone needs to be in self quarantine if possible
