Go or not to go, that is the question.

[CJ Wolf]

Good night I look forward to the few responses I get in the morning.

planes are now using fantastic filters in their circulation system that will take this virus out of the air.
Tell her to keep her personal air port aimed at her face and keep her hands away from her face and she should do fine.
Planes are a heck of a lot better than trains or buses right now.

” She successful, single and is in her mid 20s...”
IMO, she may be all those things, but lacks common sense. Over 18 you can’t do anything about it.

[Fury]

I hope you don’t take my questions as too forward.

First, does she live with you? It sounds like she does not.

Second, do you or your wife have any underlying medical issues that would make you more susceptible to complications from COVID-19 ?

Like it or not, some people do get sick from COVID-19 to the point that they require more medical attention.

If you have underlying medical issues that would make you more susceptible to complications from COVID-19, you have a legitimate heightened interest in your and your wife’s health (not to mention your daughters, regardless).

So if either of you have the underlying medical issues and if she goes, once she returns, she should exercise due diligence and perhaps keep her distance for 10-14 days.

You’re asking people here??

I would ask for prayers here but at 51, I make my own decisions and answer my own questions.

She’s successful and single. If she was not successful would it matter less?

Since you can’t decide, I’ll tell you.

Stop bugging her. She’s in her 20s and if she gets it she might not even know before it’s gone.

Over 1000 and/or incredibly sick people are in trouble.

Everybody else...not so much.

Any thoughts on how to convince her to cancel would be helpful. She successful, single and is in her mid 20s and has just been told to work from home for the next 3 weeks.

I doubt that you can change her mind after she has already bought the tickets and contracted the AB&B

Console yourself that traveling, as far as COVID-19 goes, is safer next week than last week.

Trump just eliminated a bunch more international travelers and lots of events that would have put a lot more people on planes have been cancelled.

You could also give her some advice that she won’t take for after she gets to Florida like:

Don’t go out to bars, don’t eat at restaurants, stay at least 6 feet from any attractive young men she may meet (social distancing).

It is best if she stays in the house or walks alone on the beach.

[ADSUM]

Assuming that she is an adult, give her advice, but let her make her own decisions (and mistakes).

[abb]

Mrs abb & I are headed to NOLA Monday morning for four days. WW2 Museum, restaurants, etc. I’m 70 and Mrs. abb is 64. We see no problems. It’s really distressing to see how readily normal people have succumbed to this MSM generated hysteria.

[Textide]

Might as well head to FL if the country is going to shut down for a few weeks. DC is no safer than anywhere else, and getting fresh air on a beach somewhere when not logged in remotely sounds like a good idea.

Here's a short but accurate article about air circulation on airliners.

Will Smith - Miami

[Oshkalaboomboom]

We just flew back from a vacation. Plane wasn’t crowded so we weren’t jammed in like sardines. Very few people wearing masks and no coughing. If you think about it only the healthy or at least the healthy looking will be flying now. Anyone outwardly showing signs wouldn’t be let on the plane or the other passengers would start freaking out. I hope she enjoys Miami but a lot of places she would want to go to will probably be shut down. Everything is cheap for a reason.

[right way right]

I’m sure your daughter is a good girl but, most kids going to spring break are probably going to catch VD before Cornyvirus.

[jocon307]

I am sure she’ll be fine. Are you right, Dad? Of course you are! But still, I’m sure she’ll be OK. I’ll pray for her and her friends safety.

[Bommer]

Look at it this way, she is more likely to crash in the jet then get Coronavirus. Let her go.

[Moonman62]

It’s more dangerous for your daughter to drive a car.

[Reno89519]

Great for them! Risk for healthy youth is very low. Enjoy the freedom.

[nerdgirl]

What a bunch of crap advice you've been getting on here.

Tell her not to go.

Beg her not to go.

Plenty of 20 somethings in Iran have died. Plenty of 20 somethings in China and Italy have died. Don't rely on Chinese numbers or some false sense of security one thinks they can derive from them.

Email her this picture of this 23 yr old beautiful woman from Iran who was a member of the national soccer team.

You should have posted this question on the thread where the smarter FReepers are hanging out, the Coronavirus Live Thread. You'd be far more likely to get intelligent, thoughtful replies with relevant data to help you, rather than most of what I've read here.

COVID-19 has not killed any healthy adults in the USA.

In fact, children and young adults world wide appear to have exceptionally high resistance to COVID.

King County (Seattle) is the current epicenter for COVID infections in the USA.

When they decided to close public schools yesterday, not even one school age student was infected.

When the University of Washington also decided to close yesterday, not even one student was infected.

[P.O.E.]

My only worry would be what if the plane gets quarantined? Imagine sitting in a plane for days?

[equaviator]

Relax and have a Coronna. To hell with the red tide.
