[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rent an Airbnb overnight and book it for the 3 nights before you arrive.  You can get real cheap housing in rural areas in summer.  Then overnight plans aren’t a risk.

Many reststops you can literally touch nothing. They have their doors propped open so people don’t have to touch them, you can open and close a bathroom stall with your foot (put your foot in a bag if you’re concerned about your shoe, dispose of mask and gloves once your back out and hand sanitize).  Every one I stopped at from NC to Chicago was basically empty.

And you’re not “undoing your quarantine”.  You have still eliminated 100s of potential exposures leading up to it and will have encountered a couple risks along the way. No one can promise you there is no risk but doing all of this would make it very low.  [/quote]

I kind of agree with this except that it seems that flushing toilets releases aerosolized virus into the air. So if someone has flushed within a few hours of you-- or especially a few minutes-- it could be problematic. I'm the one above who said we'll be avoiding restrooms during a 7.5-8 hour trip by using urination devices/potties. It feels totally nutso that we're doing it, but also totally reasonable that we would, under the circumstances. [/quote]
