Have to commute in morning. I have supplies, etc. to sit in place at home for a couple months. Queens? Another story. If I have to cut the mag wires and hot prop a C172 I'm getting south of the Red River...
Likewise. Flying tomorrow on a transcon. I don't want to come back to a complete shutdown. Or get stuck on the other side of the country and leave my family....

I have an international trip coming up and I'm trying to get into something domestic only. I don't care if I end up in California and they ground all air travel, I can at least rent a car and drive cross county if I have to. If I'm on a little island in the Carribbean, I'm screwed.

I’m dragging an extra bag along - all the bins are empty after all. Kleenex, NyQuil, Sudafed, mucinex, ibuprofen, roll of toilet paper, Clorox wipes, extra non perishable food. If I’ve got to drag across the country sick don’t want to have to hunt for supplies. Or, hunt around Kew in cleaned out stores. I’m in North Texas and the panicked masses have cleaned out the cold meds. Unfortunately I can’t fly with my friend Sig. Sig Sauer. He’s small but packs a punch.

I read somewhere the French medical people warned against using ibuprofen if you have COVID19. No idea if it’s legit, as it looked like it wasn’t researched enough, but maybe pack some Tylenol as well.

Most articles say they are still researching it and don’t have enough evidence to confirm/deny. French government says it’s legit. But I haven’t found any other credible/peer reviewed research that validates it. I likely still wouldn’t risk it and will stick with Tylenol, though.

I believe the World Health Organization is now backing as well. Like you said, why risk it?

Still haven’t cancelled any D.R. overnights from what I can tell, but HelloJetBlue mentions the ban. Everything I’ve read says foreign flight crews will be barred from entering the country—turns only. But this is not reflected in FLICA pairings with D.R. overnights yet.
