Tell her Laz will be picking her up at the airport.....
If she’s going to Florida to party with other Spring Breakers I’d be against it. But she’s an adult. It’s her life. Wait till your 19 year old is on a C-17 on his way to a combat zone in Iraq in 2003. Then you’ve got worries.
On a more practical note, if she’s out in the sun and salt water, that should help kill off anything that gets on her. But that place is a cruise ship/nursing home Chernobyl. I personally wouldn’t go there. The only thing keeping it at bay are old people dropping dead before they can spread it.
Leaving Boston for Florida for a long planned golf trip on Tuesday.
I expect a nice empty plane for the flight down and coming home.
Put it this way,if no flights we were driving down anyway.
Nothing gets between me and golf. Nothing
Tell her not to get sick or hurt, don’t want to go near any doctor office, clinics or hospitals. Soon they will be turning away any but the worst cases.
They do have some restriction there just like about everywhere else on large gatherings. So she might encounter limited things to do and see. I suspect their plans are to get some sun on the beach. Her greatest risks will be skin cancer and shark bites. Tell her to use plenty of sun screen and stay out of the water. Don’t know where you live but here in the PA woods I’m really up against it. I’m at risk for the double whammy; corona with Lyme.
If you are younger than 50, no problem. If you’re older than 50, the chances of her passing the virus to you if she’s sick or not sick increases with each year past 50 you are.
So are funerals in the grand scheme of things
Chances are that she should have great immunity at that age, if she’s otherwise healthy. If travel is restricted, though, things might become somewhat austere there for a short time.
If she were mine I wouldn’t like it either but she’s young so will probably be fine. It’s “only the old people” like some of us that get really sick and die anyway according to the media. She’ll have fun.
tell her to use sunscreen and have fun!
Ask her how she’ll feel if she becomes a carrier to someone who ends up dangerously ill or even dying.
Dear God. This is a politicized hyped up hoax. Tell her to go!!!! It’s the sniffles for Christ sake.
She should go. I hate that so many people are curled up in a ball, whimpering like babies over the media hype of the day. To me, the point of living is not to attempt sequester myself in a bubble against every perceived threat. It is to live, and not worry about everything that people always want you to worry about.
Somewhere in the Panhandle along the Forgotten Coast? Absolutely. We're actually thinking of heading down there.
And whoever upthread said 'walk alone on the beach in Miami'? NEGATIVE.
She’s 20 years old. It’s time to cut the cord.
If so, there's nothing you can do for her to volunteer.
There's a reason hormonal yutes gather un chaperoned.
The young are STILL (as were WE) invincible
and the entire world has been shut down .... EXCEPT THE BEACHES.
I am extremely suspicious that this "pandemic" is not that dangerous, BUT IF WE COULD JUST INFECT AN ENTIRE POPULATION OF CARRIERS .....
But not to worry;
President Trump called for a National Emergency
which opens the gate for Martial Law
which, if the youth and antifa and etcetera's go crazy this year will ENACT Martial Law
which will suspend the election
While the dims gloat over the non effect on President Trump, they will no longer have a job.
Does her employer know she is flying to Miami.
She could lose her job.
Many companies have banned travel or told employees they will be on 14 day quarantine when they return.
Otherwise make sure she gives you authority to receive and make healthcare decisions if she is unable. Millenials have been convinced they will only catch a cold. Young people on respirators in Italy or who went toItaly are learning otherwise.
I just returned from a short business trip. Both airports were empty. I saw a couple of people wearing masks. Never been through TSA so fast. Flights were 1/4 and 1/2 full and I had the whole row to myself (Southwest, everyone recepectfully spread out). I used a disinfectant wipe on the seat and area before I sat down.
I don’t have any more trips scheduled until July, but I did purchase all my flights for the rest of the year after that... airfares are really cheap right now.
You raised a smart kid. She’s taking advantage of what’s essentially a free vacation. This virus has little to no effect on young healthy’s.
One of mine is meeting some friends in Nashville soon. Maybe this weekend. I can’t remember. Unfortunately, she booked a while ago and paid full fare.
