I disagree with you
Shut the fuck up, Donny
All I need to know is that she thought it was a good idea to fly to the Caribbean with at least 8 other people outside her household in the middle of a pandemic.
How long did she quarantine after she got back, before she went back to work?
What kind of test did you do? Rapid or PCR?
This is just one of those things that is dividing so many people right now. I have friends/family that haven't seen anyone outside of their kids/spouse since March and I have friends/family who hammer home the "you can't live in fear" view. I'm somewhere in the middle.
At the end of the day, I think there is a grey area...We can be cautious, while not completely shutting our lives down. Many people struggle big time with depression and anxiety due to the lack of normalcy and not being able to spend time with their friends and family. Flying out of the country is a bad idea, but getting in a car with another family and driving to the beach is somewhere in between the "live freely" crowd and "stay home" crowd.
We all need to be supportive of one another and try to understand that while going out to eat, or driving to see some friends might put you at risk of catching COVID, the opposite of that is sitting at home, feeling depressed, self medicating and falling into a bad rut. This isn't the case for everyone, but many people are struggling with a lot of shit. Everyone is fighting their own battles and dealing with their own shit in many ways.
Now, there are complete ass holes who don't wear masks, eat out every meal, jump on planes, vacation nonstop...Those folks are in their own category.
This is kind of where I am and what I have been trying to say. Yea, we decided to take one trip on a plane back in Oct. when things weren't nearly as bad as they have gotten lately. Other than that we have done very little and been as safe as possible. Did that trip add some risk - probably. But so does going to the grocery store with idiots who don't wear masks.
I do believe that anyone who has been in their house since March and avoided seeing anyone other then their immediate family is going too far (unless there are serious health issues that make avoiding the virus an absolute must, of course) - that cannot be healthy from a mental/emotional standpoint.
Pretty sure planes have been low spread areas. But y’all keep on keeping on with those feelings. Spending 30 min in an airport is probably about as bad as spending 30min in a grocery store, probably better depending on where you live.
No one has mentioned the guy who died on a plane from covid?
There’s no use reasoning with this. One of these is an essential thing to do to keep you alive. The other is not. Long flights have been shown to be super spreader events too. And traveling internationally and only spending 30 min at the airport?
My 14 year old daughter tested positive today. Almost certainly got it at school. Really hope it’s not because the school nurse decided to go on a Caribbean vacation over thanksgiving week.
I hope she has a speedy recovery and the rest of your family stays safe.
