I’d committed to flying to LA with my best friend but now having second thoughts with the numbers rising.....likely would fly Delta and social distance there anyway but still kind of concerned

I strongly disagree with those saying this is nbd. Unless you are offering to pay the medical bills of OP, I think s/he is correct in being concerned. We are in a global pandemic. Flying to a major city knee-deep (ok, waist) in their fight to mitigate the virus is merited, appropriate, wise, and honestly due. It isn’t recommended, and I would ask if it’s necessary. Necessary trips, seeing loved ones when possible and appropriate can be done. But flying for a trip to a place struggling to appropriately care for their own residents let alone tourists is really not what they need. You are right to be hesitant.

Nothing to be concerned about. I have flown 5 round trips between CA and TX. I have yet to get sick. Just be sensible, take hand sanitiser and take your time getting off the plane.

I live at the beach. It shocks me every day how many tourists are here and how monumentally selfish they are being, and how utterly careless towards the locals who have to live with their desire to “hang out by the beach.” Stay home.

What’s the point? Unless you plan to hike or sit on the beach there’s not much to do here.

Nah. Someone has to say it. Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. And the “can” is dubious, the LA County Public Heath department advises against non-essential travel, that you should stay home. LA County has also issued a safer at home order. Please do not come OP. It’s for your own safety, and the safety of our community.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
