Full title: TWO MILLION Americans ignored CDC guidelines to travel by plane on Friday and Saturday: Dr Fauci urges nation to do 'risk-benefit assessment' before Thanksgiving travel as crowds keep flooding airports

Two million people traveled by plane in the United States on Friday and Saturday despite the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) issuing new guidelines last week...With the coronavirus surging out of control, the nation's top public health agency pleaded with Americans on Thursday not to travel for Thanksgiving and not to spend the holiday with people from outside their household.

Despite those warnings, 1,019,836 passengers flew in the US on Friday, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Nearly a million more traveled Saturday, their data shows...

This story causes worry for me on a personal level. As some of you know, DH is a critical worker which requires he fly to points east more frequently than I like. He's been stuck in TN for 3 days at the moment, having declined a 20-hr-odessey return flight Friday. But he should fly out in the morning with a single layover (much safer). Except now the normally sparse airports have turned into sardine factories. Unfortunately the airlines don't give priority to critical workers so we have to take what we can. whether it means 3 extra hotel days or not. So tonite I'm looking at the article pics and thinking of DH of course, but also of all the critical and essential workers who keep the wheels of industry turning, those who do the hard, dirty, hazardous and necessary work, the blue-collar wizards, who have also been running the infection gauntlet for days trying to get flights home to their families so they can quarantine for the holiday, too. So whether you choose to travel or your family is local, please remember than some of your fellow travelers are still coming home from work. Be kind to each other.

If Biden pulls off this fraud, I suspect airlines will never recover.

Mrs. outofsalt and I flew to Biloxi, MS this weekend to celebrate my 62nd trip around the sun. We went to the casinos and had some lovely dinners out and even toured the presidential library of Jefferson Davis.
We hated wearing the masks everywhere, but were delighted to get away from it all. We needed a break from the “real world” BS!

Dear Dr. Fauci.....You are NOT my boss and frankly, you have done NOTHING to help the world with Covid. You spew numbers that YOU LIKE and tell us we're all gonna die...and basically are absolutely no help.

You did NOT work on the vaccine, know "0" about it since it is totally different from any other vaccine.

In short, you're a blow hard.

So Dipwad Fauci wants us to do a risk benefit assessment like he did not do before advocating locking down everybody in the country?

Dr Fauci urges nation to do ‘risk-benefit assessment’


I do it every day. It’s why I don’t wear a mask. Mask wearing has tremendous cost including the destruction of American culture. That’s why I’m not doin’ it. I drove from Kentucky to Seattle a few months ago, never dawning a mask, and nobody said anything. I flew from Cincinnati to Denver and Idaho Falls and never had to dawn a mask except when getting on the plane. I nibbled on peanuts the entire flight in all four legs whenever a Karen wanted to mask me.

Masks are for the compliant european culture that simply does what they are told without question. Americans are a bit more free. If you want me to wear a mask, give me the pros and cons and let me decide. And thanks to the internet, I have the pros and cons. That’s why I don’t wear a mask.

I’m from the hippie generation. Our mantra, beyound “make love, not war” was, “question authority”.

That might be the plan. Kill air travel for common folk and reserve it only for the elite. The rest of us will get the high speed trains they see to so deeply desire. They could herd travelers into their “personal safety compartments”.

We sing, DOES THE FLAG STILL FLY, OER THE LAND OF THE FREE AND BRAVE.
WE who have already gotten Covid, and gotten over it, should be FREE to fly without masks and be BRAVE NOT to wear it when some one comes up and insists we put on a rag that is usefull, worthless and pointless.

There are a lot of good ex-hippies. But notice that the same people who could not follow a single rule in the 60s, are now in charge of draconian nanny states?

Do a risk assessment? You mean like Nancy, Gavin, and all the protestors who keep getting caught not social distancing and not wearing masks?

Observation: Wouldn't Faux Fauci and the CDC shut down the airlines if spreading the China Virus was really a concern?

Aren't airports "super-spreader events" waiting to happen? That's what we were told about Pro-Trump rallies, eating in restaurants, gathering in our churches, etc.. wasn't it?

Weren't all these things closed down "for our own good?" So why not the airports? Airlines? Mass Transit?

C'mon, we all know the answer don't we?!
