Looks like they even have their eyes on FL.

They just had 22,000 people attend the Super Bowl plus all the media and visitors that surround the game. Let’s punish the airlines though.

Florida cases and deaths have been dropping for weeks

Hospitalizations are very low.

Australia country wide has like single digit new cases and restricts state to state travel. This is what the alternative looks like. New sheriff in town hoss.

Great they have a population less than California. This should work really well. Yeah if you are going to do airlines just close travel to each state without a test. Meanwhile pay no attention to people crossing the border illegally, I’m sure they have all been tested. The only good thing is the airline CEOs have been like wtf are you guys thinking. Testing people flying will get you absolutely nothing but bk airlines.

Maybe they do close Florida.

Great, they’re living in a prison. Go there please and never return. Liberal wonderland of fascism and government camps, you’ll love it. So much government to hold your hand. See ya later!

Any domestic testing requirement has to be met with the resources to make it actually work, otherwise it will be a disaster. The country is actually sitting on millions of unused rapid tests that were meant for reopening schools and businesses. They are sitting in warehouses in the states getting ready to expire. These tests produce results in 15 minutes. If the government wants to implement a testing requirement, then the government needs to do it themselves, or provide the resources/funding to the airlines to actually do it - NOT place the burden on the carriers.

If done properly, it would actually encourage air travel. Show up at the airport 15 minutes early than planned - get your rapid COVID test before going through Security. Neg test - on your way to TSA. Positive test - sorry Charlie. I think it would provide a comfort factor if people knew that everyone on board has tested negative. It's true that these tests aren't as accurate as PCR tests and provide false negatives more than the PCR tests, but it's a numbers game. If 90% of the tests are accurate, in the big picture it would be helpful. Problem is - no way can they spin up a testing program like this fast enough to make any difference. By the time they got it up and running most Americans will be vaccinated. This is something that should have been planned for a year ago. At this point it's too late.

thankfully cdc doesn’t recommend this.

Yet. Depends who’s got their ear. Does anyone trust them at this point?
