Plan to fly to Tucson Sunday the 15th.
Bob is there in his home.
Don't want to drive my Jeep, could rent and drive.
My truck is in Tucson at Bob's.
Driving involves an overnight and meals served.
Stops for gas, etc.

Suggestions? Beam me up, Scotty?
Teleport?
Stay home?

I am 72 with asthma. Started Lisinopril Monday for blood pressure.

I have dust masks. That will probably make me fell better however ineffective they probably are.

Someone asked Fauci this morning if he would fly. He said that if it was really important, he would consider it. If it was just a vacation, he would not fly.

Our governor told people over 60 to stay home.

I'd stay home.

Can you rent a car and bring food and camp out?

I assume that flying means first driving to Denver.

Hey, me being me, first I would check the fares.

Wash your hands. Don't touch your face. Maybe even wear a mask even though the authorities say that healthy people don't need to wear one. And fly. It's a short flight between two relatively low-risk cities.

If you do drive... Meals? Grab some stuff at a grocery store. No need to be in a restaurant. Maybe get some gloves for handling gas nozzles, and such. Not sure what I'd do in a hotel room, except maybe wipe down any hard surfaces -- doorknob, bathroom counter, etc. with wipes or a rag and alcohol.

The plane could or could be carrying anyone from anywhere. And it's a closed environment. Motel room and rental car and wherever you get food is also problematic.

If you can't drive your own vehicle, camp out, bring all your own food and beverages...

Who last used the rented camper? How different from a motel room?

Had decided to fly. Airports are empty in pictures I have seen.
Now considering camping.
Will change mind a few more times I am sure.

Check the masks. If they say N95 on them, you're good.

If it were me, I'd drive.
