As we’ve entered the magical holiday season, most people would want to spend Christmas or New Year’s Eve with their families and loved ones, but making travel plans right now isn’t the smartest, safest choice for both yourself and your family.
The United States has seen a major surge in the number of cases since Thanksgiving, and experts expect an even worse scenario after Christmas, as people still make plans to travel even though it isn’t recommended. Making travel plans right now, hitting the road, and breaking local restrictions just because you want to spend the holidays with your family and friends can put you and your loved ones at a high risk of infection. This year was very hard for us all and things don’t seem to get better, spending Christmas away from the people we love is definitely not a nice experience, but we need to prioritize our health and theirs, so the smartest choice would be not to travel right now amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
These are The ONLY 3 States That Shouldn’t Be Locking Down Right Now, According To Experts.
Particularly now, each form of travel represents a high risk of infection this holiday season, but one is the most dangerous right now according to experts, and that is: traveling by bus.
A recent survey from Vox has shown that those who plan on going against the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) travel recommendations are at a very high risk of contracting or spreading the virus. However, the riskier travel form right now would be traveling by bus, as it takes longer than other means of transportation, you can’t follow the social distancing measures, and it’s also a situation in which you can’t be sure that anyone is wearing a mask for the whole distance of the trip.
