How is "Getting Here" Affected by a Pandemic?

Sadly, it is this type of "hope" that will make it spread.

Containing this virus is not predicated on hope- it requires perseverance/diligence!

The airlines are not sure of schedules and I just spoke to Concord Coach Lines...As far as I know, the only bus service from Boston's Logan to the Lakes Region.

Concord Coach Lines asked me when I would be travelling and strongly suggested I check just before my scheduled flight because they "were not sure they would be in business then".

Shall we close the southern border then?

A neighbor informs me Interstate traffic is backed-up five hours, encountering Florida checkpoint.

Sure enough:

Everything our governor is doing in Florida is too little, too late. Yes, they are stopping cars on the Georgia/Florida line, specifically looking for cars from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut,. They are also stopping cars on the Louisiana/Florida border.

We have already had people returning from cruises who were infected and have since died. They have flown into our airports and came in contact with hundreds of other people.
Our stay in place order is only starting today! We have waited way too long to do anything.
Headlines in today’s paper have estimated in two weeks we will go from about 100 dead to almost 7000 dead in Florida. We have a very large senior population here, of which I am one. I add that, because I’m beginning to wonder if dementia is affecting what people are doing here.
I am more than a little bit afraid. And I’ve been doing everything right for a month now.

The Louisiana/Florida border? What happened to Alabama and Mississippi?

(I once lived within walking distance of the Flora-Bama Lounge on Perdido Key.)

My flying instructor is a Jet Blue pilot. He said he has not flown a plane in the last 10 days with more than 30 passengers on it. He also said that the employee and flight schedule changes daily with cancelled flights.

I understand that on the 150 passenger aircraft they are not putting more than 100 passengers on a flight to allow for "social distancing". It doesn't really matter anyway because so few people are showing up for the flights there is plenty of seating space.

Alabama and Mississippi didn’t just have a Mardi Gras. Louisiana did!

Well, Nawlins has "the" Mardi Gras, but (much) smaller Fat Tuesday celebrations take place in other locations, some of which I'm pretty sure are in Alabama and Mississippi. But of course, my gentle point was that Florida and Louisiana do not share a state line, so no cars are being stopped on the "Louisiana/Florida border."

I believe the checkpoint and backup is for people entering the state, not for people leaving to go north. APS referring to title of your post which is not quoted.
