New and Old Travel Tips

[sengsational]

Like it or not, those of us that like to travel are going to have to deal with a few more things in the pandemic and post-pandemic world. I, for one, don't plan on being deterred, but I imagine for some, travel has now become "too much trouble".

I came across a video that I'd say is loaded with good, current information about travel. Rules for getting back in the US after being abroad...what if the Covid test isn't US approved? Do HEPA filters filter the virus (.1 micron), when they say .3 microns in their specs? When, during airline travel, should you wear your less comfortable, but more effective mask? (hint: not while the aircraft is aloft). The video producers are primarily medical people, so this isn't a fluff piece or designed to get clicks. Of course I'm not associated, yadda, yadda, but just think members of this board that travel will find this useful and interesting. It's 1/2 hour, but you probably won't find it boring.

I love MedCram!

BTW, do you know what a PAPR is? Let me show you:



A friend of mine was working on a version for long flights on airlines. Requested by the airlines. (FWIW, I don't think it's going to fly. )

I have a lot of pilot buddies that fly for the airlines. I can think of ONE that got COVID and he wasn't flying when he thinks he got it.

Looks good. Will listen later.

I might not go all the way to a PAPR, but the video showed a portable HEPA filter that you could aim at your face in places where there were a lot of concentrated exhales. I was thinking you could put one of those in your lap when you were eating to give you a filtered breeze to breath from.
