Reporter four days after he boarded marine one to Walter Reed Medical Center, President Trump tweeting hes leaving tonight, saying hes feeling really good despite undergoing experimental treatments and needing supplemental oxygen and stating in a video yesterday he gets it, the president today saying dont be afraid of covid, dont let it dominate your life. Those words unlikely to resonate with the families of more than 210,000 americans who have died from the disease. The white house physician giving this update on the president s health today. Though he may not entirely be out of the woods yet, the team and i agree that all our evaluation, and most importantly, his clinical state, support the president s safe return home, where hell be surrounded by worldclass medical care 247. Reporter the president set to return to a white house that is its own covid hot spot. Press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany revealing she tested positive for the virus this morning. Abc news has learned at least two other staffers got positive test results in the recent days but mcenany never quarantined, even briefing the media yesterday after removing her mask. Sources tell abc news mcenany was pulled from the president s trip to bedminster, new jersey last thursday because of her proximity to top aide hope hicks who also testified positive. President trump violating the health agencys recommendation during a surprise driveby to wanch to his supporters outside the hospital. The president , who Health Experts believe is still contagious wearing a mask, but protected against chemical attacks, meaning the air doesnt circulate. The white house saying in a statement, appropriate precautions were taken, including ppe. The movement was cleared as safe to do by the team. Any movement of a hospitalized patient outside their room should only be done for medically essential purposes. We still dont know what President Trumps schedule will look like after he leaves the hospital tonight and if he will remain in isolation at the white house, but the Trump Campaign tells abc news the president is planning to attend next weeks debate wit joe biden. Biden saying hes looking forward to that town hall event. Elizabeth schulze, abc news from Walter Reed Medical Center in maryland. Now lets take a look at a live picture from the white house, as the president has returned. And we should remind everybody that the white house does have extensive facilities inside for medical care, should the president need it. Want to show you some video of the president arriving at the white house just a short time ago. Marine one landed right before 4 00 p. M. And obviously the president has access to a team of doctors and experts who can guide him through this situation. And if he needs to return to walter reed, presumably they will do that, but will continue his recovery at the white house. Kristen . Yeah, so what does he face there, larry . Abc 7 news special correspondent joining us now to talk about President Trumps covid battle and progress. Thanks for joining us, dr. Patel. Good to see you. So we just saw the president leave walter reed to head back to the white house. He just landed there. He walked out, gave a thumbs up, walked a few steps on to marine one. Does that suggest anything about his progress . I mean, its reassuring. He did not need assistance. He was able to walk on his own. You know, i still dont understand the timeline of being hospitalized and getting these iv medications, things like dexamethazone and remdesivir which are given with an iv, not like go to the hospital, get it and leave. Him leaving to go back to the white house, that doesnt make any sense to me. And i think thats the underlying visual were seeing. Is he trying to appear like hes stronger than the virus or is there actually a medically indicated reason for him to leave . Hard for you to answer those questions without seeing the charts, of course. Dr. Sean conley says the president is doing much better, but hes not out of the woods yet. So when would he be out of the woods, based on the timeline that we know about covid. Well, based on the timeline we understand, we usually see the worst of symptoms if its going to happen at the five to seven, even tenday mark. The timeline changed on friday, President Trump tested positive sometime around thursday, either in the morning or the evening. So still a couple of days where his symptoms could get worse and we dont understand, like, how low his oxygen saturation really got or what his condition looked like to warrant those medications. But number one, he has a worldclass medical team watching over him 24 7, but also and more importantly, we want to know that hes going to keep everyone around him safe and stay away from them, which it at the white house in terms of the quarantining, the treatment and the monitoring . Well, based on what we saw last week and even him getting into that suv, it doesnt look like theyre really practicing the type of physical distancing they should be doing. According to the cdc, they will only transport a hospitalized covid19 patient for a medically indicated or necessary purpose. I dont know if going back to the white house fits that bill, but aside from President Trump, i really, really hope all the other people who are infected, the ten others near him, and everyone else potentially at the rose garden, is doing their best to keep everyone around them safe and there is Contact Tracing involved. I was just going to ask you, what do you know about their Contact Tracing . Given the increasing number of cases. We havent seen any official reports yet. About Contact Tracing efforts. I mean, everything weve looked at from the Public Health department in d. C. , theres theres no clear information. Im not saying its not happening, but i think it would be really reassuring to all of americans to know that theyre taking this extremely seriously. Thats a lot of people who are potentially exposed right now. Of course were looking at video of Kayleigh Mcenany, the press secretary, who just yesterday was talking to reporters without a mask on. She takes it off right there. I want to ask you, you know, about President Trumps tweet when he announced that he was going home. He said hes feeling really good and then he said dont be afraid of covid. Dont let it dominate your life. What do you think about that . I try to keep a straight face, kristen. I cant. Sean conley himself earlier today said President Trump has a medical team watching over him 24 7. We have something around 30 to 40 million uninsured or underinsured americans. There are people out there who dont have access to a doctor who cant physically distance. There are people who are houseless. How on earth can the president make a Statement Like that and have it be relatable or generalizable to the public at large . Its just irresponsible any way you look at it. His situation is not comparable to what we saw in so many people who were infected by covid19, including the 200,000plus americans who died. Well, it seems like the virus doesnt really care if were afraid of it or not. It does its thing. Doesnt care at all, if youre rich, poor, have medical care, a helicopter to go to the hospital, it doesnt care. Dr. Patel, thank you so much. Appreciate your time. Thank you, kristen. Santa clara countys Health Officer today issued a revised Risk Reduction order to allow more businesses to resume once the county moves into the next tear. Reporter this afternoon an encouraging announcement from Santa Clara County as it moves closer to the orange tier as part of the states reopening framework. We want to align more closely with the California Department of Public Health to make things simple and to prevent any confusion. But we also want to reduce the chance of yet another swift spike in cases, which means that we will continue to move slowly in two key areas. Reporter under the countys revised Risk Reduction order, Indoor Dining as well asndoor and outdoor gatherings can resume as early as october 15th with 25 occupancy limitations assuming the county continues to trend in the right direction. If as we move slowly forward we should slip back into a previous tier, that is going to be disruptive for everybody. So as a community, weve got to work together. Reporter the county cautions that just because an activity is allowed doesnt mean its safe. Stanford Infectious Disease expert dr. Dean winslow said the measured approach is about threading the needle. As we open up, we are increasing risk to some extent and really individuals have to make the choice about in a way how much risk theyre willing theyre willing to take at this point. Reporter and a reminder that being outside is still safer than the indoor environment when it comes to potential exposure to covid19. Small particle aerosols, which are generated just by coughing or even just talking normally can remain suspended in the relatively still air indoors for up to three to four hours. Reporter the news comes as Santa Clara County overlook Alameda County over the weekend for the highest total number of covid19 cases in the bay area. But county Officials Say a big part of that is their push to ramp up testing. And that sevenday positivity and hospitalization rates are down. Which is why Santa Clara County could enter the orange tier in the coming weeks. In san jose, chris winn, abc 7 news. Now to the developing news on the glass fire in napa and sonoma counties.

O several marin County School districts reopened today for inperson classes. Other larger School Districts around the bay area will be looking to them to see how successful they are in the midst of this pandemic. Heres abc 7 News Reporter leeann melendez. Reporter parents waved to their children as they entered the school nearly seven months after it was shut down due to the coronavirus. Filled with joy and excitement and also that uneasiness of how are things going to go . Reporter the superintendent assured us theyve been preparing for this day since st. 86 of the families opted in. Weve han trainings here on site with staff. Weve had trainings with students through videos, trainings with parents through videos. Reporter some of the classes were held outside and inside desks with plexiglass are expected to keep students safe. This week they will learn in a hybrid mode to get ready for the following weeks. October 12th where we go full full week, five days, a. M. Cohort, 8 10 to 11 00 a. M. , and then deep cleaning every classroom, p. M. Cohort arrived 12 30 and goes home at 3 20. Reporter school staff said they noticed how reserved and cautious the kids were when they first arrived on campus. By the end of the day, i think they started to feel more comfortable, which led them to have their shoulders relax, the smiles, even though you cant see them as well with the masks on, it was all there. Reporter the School District has only two Elementary Schools and one middle school. Granted, this School District is much smaller, with fewer schools than a unified district. For them reopening remains a challenge. In that larger district its about scaling up. Reporter oakland teachers have yet to begin negotiating with the School District regarding a possible return to inperson instruction. San francisco unified and their unions are still in negotiations and in the process of both reviewing resources and facilities to make sure they can reopen safely. Leeann melendez, abc 7 news. Some students in the San Ramon Valley unified School District are eager to return to oncampus learning. So eager, in fact, they tried to put pressure on the school board by staging a sitin. Abc 7 News ReporterJulian Glover has the story and the superintendents response. Reporter about a dozen and a half San Ramon Valley students showed up for a sitin outside of district headquarters. They were here for about an hour and a half, quickly moving out after that, asking that the School District allow inperson learning to resume. Several cars driving by honked at the small group, seeming to show support for the students demonstration. Holding signs with the message back to school now and back to campus. The group of mainly High School Students want to be back learning inside of the county now that Contracosta County has moved from the red tier on the states covid watch list. The superintendent of san marrone County Schools actually came out to speak with students. He explained, though, there is a plan in place to bring students back to the classroom starting in january and families will actually get to choose in november whether returning to the classroom or continuing to learn remotely is best for them. All that were saying to our community now that we are in the red tier is we get it, we understand it and were going to try to figure it out fast. Its not fast enough for some. Its too fast for others. Its way harder to learn on a computer screen. I cant ask a question as easily. I cant go after class as easily. I cant see my counselor as easily. I have to set up all these meetings. Reporter you heard one frustration with online learning. Several other students shared similar concerns. The superintendent says he gets it, but when surveyed most families did not like the idea of hybrid learning, so the district will spend the month of october figuring out how to deliver both inperson and online instruction starting on january the 5th. Hes hoping to make the transition over the winter break satisfd anuary 5th danville, ju glover, abc 7 news. The centers for Disease Control said theres increasing evidence to suggest children and adolescents can efficiently transmit covid19. They point to an investigation where 13yearold was the source of an outbreak at a family gathering. She had been exposed to a confirmed case before the gathering and tested negative via a she shared the house with 13 relatives. Six relatives visited and stayed outside and maintained social distance. They did not contract covid19. The cdc says rapid antigen tests have a lower sensitivity and people should quarantine for 14 days regardless of test results. Works underway to keep crowds from congregating at night in the east bay hills. Crews are chaining logs together to block all the dirt turnouts along grizzly peek boulevard. New signs have been posted alerting drivers that stopping is prohibited from 9 00 in the evening until 6 00 in the morning to produce fire danger. Complaints have risen in recent months over large crowds gathering at night shooting off illegal fireworks and even having bonfires on grizzly peak and skyline boulevards. Obviously nobody wants any more fires, so they want to shut all of that down. Lets get to the forecast with Spencer Christian. And spencer, still a little bit warm inland, but weve got some big changes coming. You are right about that, larry. And some changes i think we will welcome. One of the changes right now is that we have improving air quality. Even though today is a spare the air day. Heres a look at our air quality map. You can see mainly yellows and greens, indicating moderate to good air quality, although there are a couple of orange spots. Concord has poor air quality for sensitive groups, even poorer over in vacaville. Good airan and oakland, san jose and livermore. And going down to the santa cruz mountains, green dots everywhere, so very good air quality there. So lets move along and take a look at our current winds at the surface there. Not very brisk at 14 Miles Per Hour in San Francisco. 12 in oakland. Generally under 10 Miles Per Hour around the remainder of the bay area. 24hour temperature change shows what larry pointed out, that it is a bit warmer today than yesterday. 2 degrees warmer generally in most locations than at this time yesterday. So lets take a look at our current reading. 64 in San Francisco, oakland, 75. Mid80s in Mountain View and san jose. 90 in gilroy. 56 in half moon bay. Pretty cool there. San francisco from sutrr tower. 89 degrees in in santa rosa, 91 in novato. Most of the north bay pretty warm. Napa only 85. You go to the east a bit, 95 in fairfield. Concord, 95, livermore, 94. The inland is pretty warm. This is our view from the rooftop camera looking across the embarcadero. Low clouds and fog expanding overnight. A bit of a fall preview not a preview, fall is here and chance of rain on friday and saturday. Our air forecast tomorrow will be another spare the air day. Expect poor air quality in the north bay, only moderate inland the air alertsod yet. Erate to s far as air quality is concerned for the remainder of the week. Overnight, there is the fog you see forming at the coastline, 5 00 tomorrow morning. It doesnt look like it will pose too much of a problem for commuters. Doesnt seem to be expanding very much inland, and if it does, it looks like its not going to be very dense. So mainly sunny skies again tomorrow once the fog burns back to the coastline. Overnight lows will be mainly in the low to mid50s. So a little bit of a marine layer cooling effect overnight. Tomorrow, another fairly day warm day inland with high temperatures or just above 90 degrees. Upper 70s to low 80s along the shoreline. Mid60s on the coast. It gets sharply cooler on wednesday and cooler still thursday and friday. Here is the accuweather sevenday forecast. We have a little system dropping down from the gulf of alaska at the end of the week that may produce light rain on prison frd saturday. Well keep monitoring that for you. It does seem to be a pretty good possibility. So well keep watching it for you. Cooler days and cleaner air. Thats the headline. Larry and kristen . We do like those headlines. All right, spencer, thank you. So, you know, fleet week is here. For this year, its going to look a lot different. What you can expect. And later, safety in the air.

This is abc 7 news. The First Official day of early voting got under way today in the bay area with a lot of voters eager to get their ballots in. The experience differed depending on the county but the sentiment was the same across the board, everyone is taking this seriously. Here is abc 7 News Reporter chris reyes. Reporter the very image of election 2020. The enthusiasm from early voters undeniable. Nothing was going to stop me from coming out and voting, even if i had to crawl over some covid glass to get here. Im more concerned about making sure that the post office get it is here and i wanted in right away. Want to make sure that i make it clear that were voting and were voting as early as possible. And so this is an extremely important election. And want to make sure that it gets done now. Reporter in San Francisco the outdoor setup had some voters praising the process, quick and simple. Were ready. We practiced. Weve got the weve got the materials and supplies in place. Again, when people vote here, well process those ballots today or tomorrow. Reporter in Contracosta County, some voters were ready to vote as soon as this box was supposed to open at 8 00 a. M. , only to find them locked. I was a little angry with all this hype about voting boxes arent open when they say they are open. I will, however, apologize to contracosta voters we didnt have them open. We should have because thats what we said. Again, i would remind them they have their ballots early and people have never used ballots on the first days. Reporter the 37 boxes were unlocked by noon. Contracosta county Officials Say they want to assure voters no one was denied their right toe vote. They were just delayed in opening the boxes, taken by surprise at the demand for early voting. They are now unlocked 24 hours a day until november 3rd. At the post office this morning, we picked up 50 trays of voter ballots. Totally unheard of. Her reason for showing up so early. Ive been waiting on this day for 365 days. I mean, i thakt back, ive been waiting on this for four years. Reporter chris reyes for abc 7 news. Joining me live to talk about elections 2020, secretary of state alex padilla. Thanks so much for your time. Its the first time all registered voters in the state are getting vote by mail ballots, so when should everybody see the ballots in their mailboxes . We were actually having this discussion in the newsroom last night. Some people had received. Some people had not. Right now its a great question, and its a good reminder because today is the deadline that counties had to send out vote by mail ballots. So some counties ahead of the game. Some voters with ballots in hand, but some counties getting their ballots out today so they will be arriving in mailboxes in the days ahead. Let me just jump to one of the tips we have for all voters. You can go to vote. Ca. Gov, click on wheres my ballot . And sign up to receive alerts when the ballots on its way to you, including confirmations at the end of it when the county has received your ballot. Vote. Ca. Gov. Okay. You cant say that enough, mr. Secretary. Well probably do it at the end of the interview as well, just to make sure people get it. So you know questions have been raised about the safety of mailin ballots. So what do you say to assure people that their vote is going to be counted accurately and that nobody is going to be able to fill out multiple ballots and have those counted several times . Because that has been raised as an issue. Look, vote by mail has been successful in california for decades and other states as well, for that matter. Yes, it is convenient. You get to vote from the comfort and safety of your own home and it has proven to be secure. So any suggestion otherwise is, frankly, not true. And only seeks to undermine confidence in our elections. California knows how to do this. Weve been voting by mail for many, many years. In our march primary, more than 70 of ballots cast were vote by mail ballots, and i think its probably the safest option for voting during the covid19 pandemic. A lot of Safety Measures in place to protect the integrity of vote by mail, including the allimportant signature investigatio verification. When you vote by mail, regardless of how you return, by mail, a drop box or returning in person, remember to sign the outside of your envelope. The first thing officials do is compare the signature on that envelope with the signature on record as part of your Voter Registration to confirm the identity of the voter and that it was cast appropriately. We should really emphasize that because if you dont sign it and you dont include the ballot properly, its probably not going to be counted, correct . Correct. And if, look, one of two things. You know, when you send back your ballot, remember, it must be in that official return envelope, return postage is prepaid so you dont have to worry about stamps. Make sure you sign the back of the envelope and that you date it. Ballots must be post marked on or before election day in order to count. As long as they arrive within 17 days of the election. If there is any issue with that signature, if its a missing signature or a mismatched signature, the county must attempt to contact the voter to take care of whatever the issue is. For some voters maybe i forget to sign, here is my signature or my signature has changed over time. Lets update it. Obviously if the voter says, hey, that wasnt me, we may have something to look into. So one of the most important safeguards, make sure to sign the return envelope. What would your advice be because weve seen a lot of stories about the Postal Service and slowdowns there. Would you go to a ballot dropoff location to make sure that your vote is counted on time . Look, thats the beauty of how were preparing for the november election. Its up to the voter how they feel best in casting their ballot. Were encouraging vote by mail. And im encouraging the Postal Service as a reliable route to return your ballot. Thats what i intend to do as soon as i get my ballot delivered to me. Voters who feel more comfortable have the option of delivering their ballots to any ballot drop box in the county between now and election day or to walk it in in person. And, of course, we know that there are going to be some voters who need that inperson opportunity to vote, whether its to replace their ballot for sameday registration, language assistance, whatever the case may be, every county will be offering inperson early voting as well. So go to vote. Ca. Gov to see what your options are. Our recommendation is to do it early. Dont wait until the last minute. We are expecting a big turnout. You do not want to get caught in the line on tuesday, november 3rd. And sign up for wheres my ballot and get those automated alerts on the status of your ballot, including confirmation when your ballots been received and counted. All right. I think were going to have this conversation a few times in the next few weeks. Secretary of state alex padilla, thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. Absolutely. Vote. Ca. Gov. All right. He was giving us the tip there on the website. We can bring it back up later, but abc 7 news, we got so much information for you. How you can find out where to register to vote, how to do it, how to vote inperson. Weve got an interactive statewide proposition guide. Theres a ton of props youll be asked about. Find it all at abc7news. Com vote. Ca. Gov. Vote. Ca. Gov is the site that mr. Padilla was telling us about. President trump released from walter reed and back at the white house. The latest on you make my heart sing wild thing i. Think i. You know what i think . I think you owe us 48. 50. Wild thing. If you ride, you get it. Geico motorcycle. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Time now for the four at 4 00, joined be deion and spencer. President trump back at the white house after getting treated for the coronavirus. Walking out of Walter Reed Hospital in bethesda, maryland, about an hour ago. The president was taken by marine one back to the white house. Takes about 15 minutes. Its been really a dizzying few days ever since the news of his diagnosis broke late thursday night. The president s personal physician has caution that the president is not out of the woods yet, despite heading back to the white house. Spencer, Immediate Reaction . Well, happy to see that he feels well enough to insist on going back home. But i dont think any of us has enough information about his medical condition to really render an opinion. I will offer this opinion, though, about his tweets, telling people not to fear covid. You know, its easy to say when youve got the care that the president of the United States has around him. Apparently most of us should have some fear of covid, i think. But im happy that hes able to walk around and go home. Yeah, the rest of us also dont have the ability to get all the skeerexperimental treat early. It just doesnt work that way. Right. Obviously hes the president , so he should get those things. Deon, i dont know how its worked to you in the past, every time i tell my doctor, should i do this . I just read this on webmd, you get the eye roll, like yeah. One of us is the doctor and one of us is the patient. Maybe the doctor should decide what the treatment is. What do you think . You know something . Dont read and believe everything you see on the internet. Thats all i have to say. But, truly, if you have worldclass care and, you know, youre not out of the woods yet, just stay. Youve been working from home. Just my two cents. Yeah. All right. Well, early on in the pandemic, alcohol sales jumped. Now according to a new report, adults have been drinking 14 more often. The increase in frequency of drinking for women up 17 compared to last year. The report is based on findings from a Rand Corporation study and the research didnt determine why the frequency has increased. Seems pretty evident. But Health Experts speculate its to cope with pandemicrelated stress. Isolation and boredom. Of course that reflects in different ways for different people. For me, its cookies, boba tea and ice cream. Yes. You agree, deion . Absolutely. I dont know about you, kristen, but i get that asian flush. You can use a spray bottle full of alcohol on me and i would be red and blotchiy, so, anyway, i dont drink very much as it is. So, yeah, im all about comfort eating. Mine is pizza is really large cheese burgers. All right. That sounds good. Spencer, i bet youre wine, right . More frequently. Wine for me. Im not drinking more wine, im just drinking more expensive wine. There you go. Everybody deserves a little treat where they get it. Well, wish we could all be Spencer Christian. Anyway, singer and poet lana delray is coming under fire on social media for the mask she wore over the weekend. Take a look. Its a mesh mask shes got on. You can see right through it. It doesnt appear its going to do very much to stop a virus. Cant tell exactly what its made of, but fans wrote on her instagram page, lana, im begging you wear a real mask and please address the mask situation. Its absolutely embarrassing. She was at a barnes noble in l. A. Signing her new book of poetry. Kristen, the you know, i get it, that the mask can be uncomfortable if you wear it over time, but wearing a mesh mask, you why even bother wearing a mask at that point . I know. Shes got a lot of fans posting on social because she put that picture up with that fish net mask on twitter as well. People were saying, look, that looks great in pictures, but being out in public to protect yourself and protect others, please, wear a real mask, not the meshy one that looks like you know the exterior to the bag of orange, when you buy the bag of orange, its like a fish net kind of thing. Yeah, but you know what . Even that has, like, a plastic cover, you know . I actually zoomed in on the picture. There was no plastic covering that was clear on that mask. Its not as good as the orange holder, see, spencer, right . Nope. Okay, guys, it appears the coronavirus producer says keep moves, guys. It appears the coronavirus will keep people from celebrating halloween this year. The annual survey from the National Retail federation shows just 58 of adults plan to celebrate this year. Those taking part plan to spend about 90 bucks on average, 11 more than last year. As for kids, more than 2. 7 million children plan to drop up. The top three costumes, princess, spiderman or a superhero. Larry, im not going to buy candy. I dont expect trick or treaters. They shouldnt come. Im not opening the door. Well, some of us do that anyway, pandemic or not. But what i am going to dress up as Spencer Christian and drink expensive wine in the front yard. Thats my plan. So, spencer, what are you going to do, dress up as larry . Im just going to take a label off of my bottles and put it on my face. Deion, any plans to either buy candy or trick or treat . You know, i think im a little wouldnt you be horrified if i showed up on someones doorstep . I would get turned away if i showed up on kristens doorstep. Fail. You look really young. Im glad the face creams working. Wow. Any age you can go out and have well, maybe not this year. You probably want to shut it down and stay at home, but thats it for the pain is always around the corner. O taking california for a ride. Companies like uber, lyft, doordash.

How can you stay safe in the sky the next time you fly . 7 on your sides Michael Finney with some tips. Hi, michael. Hey, larry, chris, look, the problem with flying right now is each airline is handling the pandemic somewhat differently and the policies are changing all the time. However, there are several things you can do for yourself to stay as safe as possible. This past June Dani Bush boarded an American Airlines flight with high hopes that she would fly in a safe and healthy environment. They put out the dialogue as if they were being very safe and consid consid considerate for covid, but when you arrive at the airport, none of those things were happening. Once she began boarding, she was appalled to see crowded boarding areas, passengers without masks and jampacked flights with middle seats filled. Her 20yearold son has a suppressed immune system so she takes social distancing very seriously. I had anxiety the entire flight. Since danis flight, American Airlines said it has tightened its requirements for face coverings and prohibits anyone over the age of 2 for flying without a mask. Some Airlines Make mask wearing mandatory and are blocking off middle seats, Consumer Reports has found Airlines Covid precautions are all over the map. In many cases the policies are conflicting. So if youre flying on two Different Airlines in the same day, you may very well have two different sets of rules. Consumer reports says without federal rules in place, airlines wont be held accountable for making their flights as safe as possible. The department of transportation has not stepped up and has not protected consumers as we believe they should. Reporter in the meantime, if you must fly, heres what you can do now to keep yourself safe. Before you book, contact the airline and ask if they guarantee empty middle seats and how strictly it enforcing maskwearing. Pack a go bag with extra masks, Hand Sanitizer and sanitizing wipes. When you board, clean your space. Wipe down the area around you, even the air nozzle above. And blast that air from the nozzle directly into your face for the entire flight. As for dani bush, she plans to fly again this month with a different airline. And hopes that more people will follow social distancing guidelines this time. Okay, you guys, i want to know what you think about this. Heres my theory on which seat to pick. And by the way, ive had a couple of experts back me up on this. You want to pick the window seat because the air comes straight down from aou supposed to keep it on and blasting. If youre sitting over next to the aisle, you have the air coming at you this way. Not as good. Also in the aisle, youre closer to people walking back and forth. Thats my theory. Im backed up by some. What do you guys think . That totally makes sense, michael. Is locked in the lavatory an option . Oh. No . Thats a smart one right there. All right. Thanks, michael. Thanks, michael. Preparing for the worst. Through gaming.
