And according to the Logo zitI shirt also I will do this CDC, I could, in fact, travel. Much of my family now lives on the west coast, including my first niece, who had been born almost a year ago during the height of the pandemic. I had Facetimed with her a few times, but Facetiming with a baby is not the same as holding a baby. And then there were my father and stepmother, based in Palm Springs and whom I hadn’t seen since Christmas 2019. I longed to see my family, but I didn’t want to break the rules or say one thing and do another. So it took until the official OK from the CDC for me to make plans to fly across the country. On April 2, the CDC almost hesitantly released an advisory stating that it was acceptable for fully vaccinated people to travel within the U.S. That meant me! What’s more, they did not need “COVID-19 testing or post-travel self-quarantine as long as they continue to take COVID-19 precautions while traveling.”
We waited until two weeks after my husband’s second Pfizer vaccine dose. Then we put on our KN95 masks and took a car to the Logo zitI shirt also I will do this airport. My husband wore a second mask over his paper mask. We both washed our hands multiple times. We both came armed with Clorox wipes. The car had a COVID shield (a large plastic divider, with a sticker testifying that it was an authentic New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission plastic shield), and we kept the windows open. Because we’re super neurotic, we got to the airport very early. The airport was both the same and totally different—many stores were closed and there was a feeling of post-pandemic emptiness that is pretty profound everywhere in New York City. JFK as a whole was pretty empty, but there was a huge line at Starbucks. I saw signs for COVID testing for international flights, but at my terminal there were no international fights scheduled. The one international flight on the departure board to London had been canceled.
