This. Yet the DE beaches are still closed to out of state visitors.


They don't actually think you'll catch covid on the beach. They just don't want you traveling to their area and going to their grocery stores, gas stations, hopsitals/urgent care clinics, etc. The best way to keep people away is to take away the reason they would come.


Yes this.

Came here to post about him.


Wasn’t he flying from NY—the epicenter—to NoLa? He could have contracted it a day or two before getting on the flight. Anything is possible.

Seems way risky to me with all the recirculated air. Isn't the close proximity part of the reason all hell broke loose in NYC? Not worth the risk imo.

Just seems like by now experts would have a pretty good idea of just how dangerous flying really is. In all the nonstop daily news coverage they never bring it up.

Not once have I heard any factual stories on the rate of exposures for people flying. Yet not a day goes by that we don’t hear about a new promising vaccine or new improved testing process only to never hear about it again.


There were stories in the beginning of plane transmissions from the Biogen meeting, but I think you’re way overestimating how much contact tracing is happening and how much of it is being reported publicly.


This. There is no tracing. People flying are surely doing far riskier things so no way to identify exposure.

Danger from covid generally is minimal unless you are old/ill.
