So many of my friends are going away, away like hotel in Florida, not a Vrbo upstate, away. I can’t justify going away until this is over, or at least much better, am I crazy? Talk to me. Thanks
I can't justify it. If I leave my state (Vermont), state law (and my employer's mandate) is that we must quarantine for 14 days on return, or get a negative test after 7 days (which takes about 10 days total anyway). With travel in both directions, that would be a several week venture for me. Not worth it.
It's also worth noting that we have a new, more transmissible virus we're dealing with. Either we try to contain it and stay put as much as possible, or we don't.
So yeah, on many levels, I do not think you're crazy.
We rented a place for a few weeks at the shore this past summer but the covid rates were much lower. We are planning to send our kids to sleep away camp, but as far as anything else, we have made no decisions yet. I'm more likely to rent a place than stay in a hotel though. Everyone has different levels of risk acceptance. Do what makes you feel comfortable.
Yeah but my feeling is that it should not be an individual mind of decision. We are in a pandemic, we should all be kind of staying in one spot in an effort to combat it. I’m all for individual freedom but not at the expense of greater welfare right now. i don’t know,
seems shitty and selfish and kind of tone deaf. Just my opinion

It takes 10 days to get a test result? Did I read that right? Also it's nice to see you VT mom! I always like your posts and insight.
@Anonymous I think the poster is saying wait 7 days, take a test (which can take 3 days to get result).
VT mom- yes, tests for asymptomatic patients are given lowest priority so can take 3 days to return... so 10 day total :(

Agreed. The same old individualism vs collective good argument in America rears its ugly ahead again.
