His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>Officials at California State University, the country’s largest four-year public university system, said last week that classes at all 23 campuses will stay primarily online when the next term begins in January, due to expected increases in coronavirus cases later this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This decision is the only responsible one available to us at this time,” Chancellor Timothy White said in a message to faculty, staff and 480,000 undergraduate students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, CSU was among the first large U.S. universities to announce that most classes this fall would be online because of the pandemic. Currently, less than 10% of courses like labs and other hands-on classes are being taught in person, and on-campus housing has been significantly reduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The virus continues to spread. There is no vaccine and there likely will not be one widely available any time soon,” White said. “A larger wave continues to be forecast for the period between October and December, coupled with seasonal influenza; this will undoubtedly be a daunting challenge for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also cited “an insufficient testing and contact-tracing infrastructure” as reasons for the “regrettable but necessary decision” to continue the next term virtually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move comes after several CSU campuses, including San Diego State and CSU Chico, recently halted in-person classes following on-campus outbreaks just days after the start of the fall semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For students, especially those in San Francisco, the decision to continue classes remotely through the spring comes with significant pros and cons. “On one hand, I am extremely grateful — it’s very apparent as we have seen across the country, college-aged people cannot be trusted to make informed health decisions,” said Siobhán Eagen, a senior at San Francisco State University, majoring in journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11837965\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11837965\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/1920_IMG_20200914_203958-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">SF State student, Siobhán Eagen sheltered in place at her campus apartment from March to May. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Siobhán Eagen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Eagen said she is grateful to be part of the CSU system, but she is also heartbroken. “The place I loved myself the most is in an educational setting. I loved being in school,” she said.

In California, October is the month historically associated with the most destructive wildfires in the state. But this year, California wildfires have already burned more than 3 million acres, shattering the previous record set in 2018. According to Cal Fire, nearly 15,000 firefighters are currently battling 28 major blazes across the state that have claimed at least 12 lives and forced thousands of residents to flee their homes. But amid the destruction comes opportunity, guided by science. Last week, San José State University recently unveiled a new academic wildfire research center, the largest one of its kind in the nation. The scientists and professors there span a range of disciplines — from meteorology to ecology to social science — to pioneer new tools and techniques to better study, predict and adapt to living with wildfires made more intense by climate change. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Craig Clements, professor of meteorology and director, Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center, San José State University\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amanda Stasiewicz, assistant professor of wildfire management, Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center, San José State University \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The COVID-19 Vaccine Arms Race\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are roughly 170 COVID-19 vaccine candidates being developed around the world right now, according to the World Health Organization. This week, a Phase 3 clinical trial of a vaccine candidate being developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University was halted temporarily to investigate whether the vaccine was responsible for one of the study participants falling ill. Earlier this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention informed public health officials across the U.S. to prepare to distribute a vaccine as early as October or November. The Trump administration has already spent $10 billion to invest in the development of a coronavirus vaccine with the goal of distributing 300 million doses by January 2021. But concerns are mounting that the race to develop a vaccine is being politicized and rushed out to help President Trump win reelection in November. Access to a safe and effective vaccine may also be an issue, with priority being given to health care workers and first responders but not necessarily to communities who have been disproportionately impacted by the coronavirus. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, professor of pediatrics and infectious disease epidemiologist, Stanford University\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, professor of medicine and infectious disease specialist, UCSF\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And for those who are unhoused or whose jobs require them to continue working outside, the hazardous air quality and heat are inescapable.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID=\"news_11834305\"]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If this is you, help is available — and if you want to help these communities, opportunities are plentiful. Take it from Quinn Jasmine Redwoods, a transgender disabled \u003ca href=\"https://www.pluralpride.com/playbook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plural\u003c/a> activist, who says they were unsure how to help until they founded \u003ca href=\"https://maskoakland.org/\">Mask Oakland\u003c/a>, a volunteer network that distributes masks to those who need it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, Redwoods saw Bay Area people living outside without masks, unprotected from the smoky air caused by wildfires. On their way to buy a mask for their friend, they thought, “Why doesn’t everyone have masks?” From there, they bought $300 worth of masks at a hardware store to distribute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, in 2021, it’s Mask Oakland’s fifth fire season. Over the years, the group has helped distribute more than 240,000 masks, and provides face coverings geared toward stopping the spread of COVID in addition to masks to prevent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11616299/is-all-that-wildfire-smoke-damaging-my-lungs\">respiratory damage from wildfire smoke\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you start peeling back the veil, the amount of need will shock a lot of folks,” Redwoods said.

But we don’t have the funds right now. \u003ca href=\"https://maskoakland.org/give/\">We need donations\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus far, they’ve distributed 2,400 masks to Reno and 1,200 to Placerville in just the past weeks since the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11886590/despite-containment-gains-caldor-fire-continues-march-toward-tahoe-basin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caldor fire\u003c/a> began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Someone came up to the table in Placerville yesterday and said, ‘This is like finding a gold nugget,’” Redwoods said. “The need is extreme.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CTLmz5RHldb/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While 2020’s wildfires posed an especially urgent need to get masks into the community, Redwoods said the work is just as crucial this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We encourage our volunteers to step forward, experience the energy and healing that can come from being actively engaged, but also recognize that we have to be in a rhythm of taking time and care and recovery,” Redwoods said. “Abundance comes from collective power, and that’s the solution to so many of these issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are unhoused or work outdoors, here are some ways to attempt to stay safe:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How to protect yourself from wildfire smoke if you can’t stay inside\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the best way to reduce your risk of being affected by wildfire smoke is to seek shelter if possible. But if you must be outside, try to limit your physical activity and wear a mask if it’s possible and safe to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember: Although cloth masks can help prevent the spread of COVID-19, they won’t protect against the harmful particles in smoke that can be dangerous for your health.

But it wouldn’t affect Moreno as asylees are exempt and unemployment insurance is \u003ca href=\"https://immigrationimpact.com/2020/04/06/unemployment-for-immigrants-public-charge/#.X1lPiWdKjR0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">not considered\u003c/a>, because workers pay into it from their paychecks. The rule is currently being challenged in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To earn his share of the $1,000 rent he splits with his roommate, Moreno said he has found occasional odd jobs. He even spent a couple of days traveling 60 miles by bus each way to Napa to fertilize and irrigate vineyards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But without a stable job, he worries constantly about paying the rent, especially as his roommate is moving away soon, he said.

Even though their guidance confirms that most viruses and other germs don’t actually spread easily \u003cem>on\u003c/em> flights because of how air circulates and is filtered on airplanes, this kind of travel means you’re spending prolonged time in security lines and airport terminals, where you can be brought into close contact not just with others, but with surfaces that could be harboring the coronavirus.

Keep the air vent on by your seat, and choose a seat as close to the window as possible and as far away from where other people are sitting as possible.

If you manage to get \u003cem>on\u003c/em> your flight without cancellation, the country to which you’re traveling could change its travel rules and deny you entry as a noncitizen with very little notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829695\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11829695\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane.jpg 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane-800x539.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane-1536x1035.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Right now, international travel is strongly discouraged. \u003ccite>(C.

But they \u003cem>also\u003c/em> offer\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/travel-in-the-us.html\"> this specific guidance\u003c/a> to consider from the CDC, “before traveling away from your community”:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Is the coronavirus spreading where you are traveling?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Are you or those you are traveling with more likely to get very sick from coronavirus?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Will you be able to keep 6 feet of physical distance from others during or after your trip?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The state’s official tourism body, Visit California, says that COVID-19 travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic “\u003ca href=\"https://www.visitcalifornia.com/latest-covid-19-coronavirus\">still allow travel in California\u003c/a>, and many tourism assets have reopened.” They also urge you to consider the impact of wildfires in the state on your plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, essentially, recreational travel is still discouraged right now.

Do not travel with someone who is sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state also recommends that if you choose to travel, you need to start by doing some in-depth planning.

The \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/press-releases/2020/1109-ABAHO-Holiday-Recommendations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recommendations \u003c/a> released by Bay Area public health officers contains tips for for doing just that, with travel for the holidays specifically in mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you travel outside the Bay Area, this guidance “strongly” recommends a self-imposed quarantine for 14 days when you return “if your activities while travelling put you at higher risk of getting COVID-19.” Such activities are defined as including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>“Spending time within 6 feet of people you do not normally live with, while you or anyone around you was not wearing a face mask – especially if you were indoors”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>“Traveling on planes, buses, trains, public transportation, or other shared vehicles, if face masks were not worn at all times by both you and the other people in the vehicle.”\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>For folks who are determined to travel, and want to minimize their risk, we also created \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1966305/quiz-planning-a-summer-trip-to-visit-family-check-your-covid-19-travel-risk\">this short checklist quiz\u003c/a> in consultation with medical experts and government health guidelines, to help you keep track of your household’s distancing habits and test for leaks in your stay-at-home bubble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you try the quiz you’ll be reminded that taking precautions will reduce, but can’t eliminate, your risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"fly\">\u003c/a>What if I Really Have to Fly?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As the CDC says, flying will increase your risk for COVID-19. Even though their guidance confirms that most viruses and other germs don’t actually spread easily \u003cem>on\u003c/em> flights because of how air circulates and is filtered on airplanes, this kind of travel means you’re spending prolonged time in security lines and airport terminals, where you can be brought into close contact not just with others, but with surfaces that could be harboring the coronavirus. Being in an assigned seat also makes social distancing hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both our experts — Dr. Yvonne Maldonado and Dr. Peter Chin-Hong — said \u003cem>they\u003c/em> really wouldn’t get on an airplane right now unless they absolutely had to — in the case of, say, a family emergency. But if you absolutely must get on a domestic flight, they recommend investigating the airline’s safety policies before you fly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do they keep middle seats empty to enable social distancing? Do they enforce face coverings?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bring disinfectant wipes and wipe down your seat and anything you touch in the bathroom, if you use it. Keep the air vent on by your seat, and choose a seat as close to the window as possible and as far away from where other people are sitting as possible. Bring your own food or make sure your food is pre-packaged if you purchase it in the airport or on the plane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And wear your mask at all times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829701\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11829701\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/air-travel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/air-travel.jpg 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/air-travel-800x539.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/air-travel-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/air-travel-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/air-travel-1536x1035.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The airline industry has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic \u003ccite>(Sourav Mishra/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What if someone’s sick with COVID-19 on your flight? The CDC says pilots have to notify them of all illnesses on a flight, and if a traveler is deemed a risk to public health, they’ll collaborate to contact any passengers or crew who might have been exposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For that reason, says the CDC, make sure you give the airline your up-to-date, reliable contact information when making your reservation — so they can find you, to tell you if you’ve been in contact with someone with the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Are Some Places Safer to Travel to Than Others?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Dr. Chin-Hong advises that much like you’d research the weather at a potential destination, you should look up the COVID-19 case numbers and risk levels. Are their case numbers rising? Are they at risk of an overwhelmed health care system — one that wouldn’t be able to care for you, if you got sick too? How far would you have to drive home if things got bad?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take a look at a county tracker \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/projects/2020/coronavirus-tracker/app/california/index.html\">like this one\u003c/a> or the state’s own county monitoring list, and do your research. And remember that the more densely populated a place, the harder it will be to maintain social distancing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, while you may normally love exploring new regions when there \u003cem>isn’t\u003c/em> a pandemic raging, Dr. Maldonado says this is still “not the time” to experiment with new travel destinations and all the unknowns they entail. Having a degree of familiarity with where you’re going — and whether the health care system could support you if you got sick and where the hospitals are — is still incredibly important right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>I’m Choosing to Stay in a Rural Area With a Small Population. That Should Be OK, Right?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Unsurprisingly, the rural outdoors is generally safer than urban areas for COVID-19 risk right now, confirm Maldonado and Chin-Hong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just because a county is rural doesn’t necessarily mean its COVID-19 rates are low. And even if they are, remember that you’re the one potentially bringing in a risk of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In sparsely populated area, residents might not feel the “need” to wear a mask regularly, so be prepared to potentially be the only one wearing a mask in rural areas, and stick to your own values on the issue.

It’s way less risky than taking a plane or a train right now. But by leaving your household and hitting the road, you’re still running the risk of spreading the coronavirus, and should take precautions — especially if you’re planning to drive longer distances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless you’re purposefully limiting your mileage, you’re going to need to get out of your car at certain times. It’s smart to plan your route and be aware of the COVID-19 risks in the areas you’re driving through — if you’re driving through a hot spot, you may wish to limit your stops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bring an ample supply of wipes to keep your car disinfected by wiping the steering wheel, surfaces, gearstick, parking brake and inside the dashboard every time you return to your car from a gas station, rest stop, restaurant or lodging — basically, from anywhere you’re around people or touching surfaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep a sealed bag in your car for disposing of your used wipes and gloves. Stash your mask(s) safely somewhere where you can easily and quickly grab it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’re almost certainly going to need to stop for gas, so remember to wipe down gas pump handles with your disinfectant wipes. You might consider bringing a supply of gloves to wear when refueling and using gas station restrooms — just remember to avoid touching your face when you’re wearing them. When stopping for gas, wear your mask at all times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829688\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11829688\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/road-trip.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/road-trip.jpg 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/road-trip-800x539.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/road-trip-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/road-trip-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/road-trip-1536x1035.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Driving is undoubtedly safer than some other forms of transportation, but precautions are still necessary \u003ccite>(Kei Scampa/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When stopping for food, always consider drive-thru, grab-and-go or takeout over in-restaurant dining. With the potential for breaking social distance, decreased ventilation, increased time in one spot and the risk of surface transmission, indoor dining really is a “perfect storm,” Maldonado says. Any time you spend inside somewhere like a restaurant will really increase your risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. And if you do decide to dine indoors and spot that it’s a buffet, turn right around, Chin-Hong advises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re renting a car, consider the rental company’s cleaning and pick-up policies.

Maldonado and Chin-Hong stress the importance of checking the reviews for anywhere you’re considering staying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many owners are promising enhanced COVID-19 cleaning procedures, and increased spacing between guests. You’ll want to know that they’re cleaning and disinfecting anywhere you’re going to stay, especially if someone was there right before you. If a place has zero reviews, you’re lacking potentially crucial information — so you may choose not to book such a property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might consider messaging or chatting with an owner or host to drill down on their policies and cleaning practices. They’ll understand: this is a pandemic. And if they don’t? Don’t stay there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to travel in general, you basically want to assess what Dr. Chin-Hong calls the “COVID-19 values” of the place you’re staying, as well as the surrounding area. Talk to people, like hotel owners or locals: Are people taking COVID-19 seriously? Have they been masking?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>OK, I Traveled… and Now I’m Worried I Might Have COVID-19. How Long After I Return Should I Get Tested?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Maldonado and Chin-Hong confirm that there’s a window of around two to 14 days from when you are exposed to when your symptoms show, or when you would test positive. The average length of time for this is about five days. That means, our experts say, that getting a test five days after you return from traveling is a good rule of thumb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They advise being extra sure to maintain your usual pandemic protocol of keeping social distance and wearing a facial covering in public before you get your test. These precautions mean you can be somewhat reassured that even if you \u003cem>did\u003c/em> contract COVID-19 on your travels, the risk that you’ve infected others is much lowered.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is International Travel Off the Table Right Now?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Basically, yes. The CDC’s guidance, which they say is “updated frequently,” still recommends that you \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/faqs.html\">avoid all nonessential international travel\u003c/a> because of the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the significant risk long-haul international flights pose to spreading the coronavirus globally, you could find yourself stuck in multiple sticky situations even if you’re able to book a flight. For one thing, several countries are currently barring entry to travelers from the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before you leave, plans and reserved tickets could be thrown into total disarray as airlines are canceling many international flights and travel within another country can be totally unpredictable. If you manage to get \u003cem>on\u003c/em> your flight without cancellation, the country to which you’re traveling could change its travel rules and deny you entry as a noncitizen with very little notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829695\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11829695\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane.jpg 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane-800x539.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/plane-1536x1035.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Right now, international travel is strongly discouraged. \u003ccite>(C. Cagnin/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Even if you \u003cem>do\u003c/em> manage to enter another country, you could be exposing yourself to an overwhelmed health care system, where your access to potentially urgent medical care if you contract COVID-19 would not be guaranteed. This isn’t to mention the possibility of travel restrictions within that country, and with bordering nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, as the CDC warns, choosing to travel internationally right now might mean having to remain outside the United States for “an indefinite length of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Else Should I Consider When I’m on My Trip?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The big takeaway? If you decide to go against official guidance and travel this fall, this isn’t going to be a “normal” vacation. You will be 100% less carefree than you might usually be on your time off, and you’ll be doing things like:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Planning your route to check it doesn’t take you through any COVID-19 hot spots, rather than taking the scenic route\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Choosing a restaurant based on how far apart their outside tables are, rather than what you see on their menu\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Arriving at your rental property and disinfecting the surfaces, rather than jumping in the pool straightaway\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Strolling 20 minutes into a downtown area where you’re staying and having to turn back because you’ve realized you’ve forgotten your mask\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>If all of this sounds incredibly stressful, you might reconsider why you’re choosing to take a trip right now — and potentially redesign your plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking for rest and relaxation, it may be that, in 2020, traveling \u003cem>isn’t\u003c/em> what’s going to provide it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
