I am a Professor of Biology where I focus

on immunology and the controlled infectious diseases.

- So determining whether you want to fly or not

is really a personal choice that needs to be made

- Do you need to, how important is it to do it?

that have been discussed then flying becomes

that doesn't have very much virus circulation

- Some of the other things you need to consider with flying

is how common are new infections in the area

So if you find yourself flying out of New York

or out of New Jersey or even Massachusetts,

a lot of community spread, then getting on a plane

with 100 or 200 other people presents a higher risk

than what it would be if you were flying out of Alaska

where they only had a handful of cases yesterday.

- Probably there are as many dangers going

to and from the airport and waiting in the airport.

especially social distancing, and if we are with

other people, they should be people we know and trust.

to physically separate from other groups,

to create that needed space, that buffer that we need

to get away from the respiratory emissions

- Not everyone is able or perhaps willing

to maintain the social distancing we talk about.

So some beaches have gotten very crowded.

If so, I think you should head for another beach,

- So you can go to the beach but physical distancing

- If you go to the beach and it's saltwater

the chances are that there's gonna be a lot of dilution

Even if it could survive the tides are going to

sweep it away, there's going to be a lot of water

So there's probably very little risk in that situation.

- This virus we haven't really studied in detail

Contracting it from the water would be very hard

when we're dealing with an ocean or a large lake

because it's not just exposure to the virus

- Any time that you possibly can have an interaction

with your friends make sure that you're doing it outside.

'Cause when we get inside the chance for transfer

of the virus just through those tiny little droplets

- I think gradually we're expanding our circle

- Just understand that the longer that you spend with them,

- If you trust your friends and they trust you

or if you've all been indoors staying home

- [Woman] When is it safe to see family again?

- So seeing family again follows the same rules

as everything else we've been talking about.

You've got to think about the risk factors

of your household and the people, your family

- There are so many grandparents, I'm in that category,

- If you're looking at visiting your mother

and they have a lot of comorbidities and age
