Dr. Fauci said he wouldn’t fly for pleasure right now. Your parents being doctors are irrelevant unless they are epidemiologists or virologists.

I wouldn't go to a funeral now. I wouldn't want people coming to mine. The virus doesn't care why people are gathering. There are a lot of ways to honor someone who has passed, and putting yourself and others at risk is not a good one.

Why are theses weddings and funerals, just not being live-streamed?

Especially the weddings. Even movie premieres are being delayed to avoid large gatherings. These people going on with their weddings and expecting guests to attend are classic selfishness..aka bride/groomzilla.

Has the Bahamas banned flights from hotspots? If so, then I would go.


They have banned travel from Italy and China as far as I know, not sure about others like S. Korea, Australia, etc.

I personally wouldn't want to take the risk of my parents in their 70's getting sick there.
Also, I know they need tourists but these types of travels might be what BRINGS COVID-19 to Bahamas..

Yes

Are you literally not planning to leave the house? And receive no packages etc until summer? Don't cancel summer plans now. It's premature.

I personally would go to a funeral.

I would literally drive to the funeral and back. You could drive there without stopping.

I would go to a local funeral.


Same. I would go. Not different than the going to the grocery store. Don’t kiss anyone. Hug only the closest bereaved. And wash hands a lot!


I agree. I probably would try not to touch the older folks but I come from a very touchy culture so that's not easy!

Good. They should cancel all cruises forever.

Hell yes!


Yeah that’s what I thought, ended up canceling earlier this evening. Hopefully American will refund airfare but more upset about the fact that we’re not going to South America.


I also just postponed my two-week Peru until September.
