“Travel for 2 Seniors During Covid-19 Pandemic?”
My wife and I are each 71 years old. We each have hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. It is July 2020 and we have been invited to attend an extended family function three states away from where we live. It is not as important as a wedding, funeral, etc., but would be fun to attend. Given the current state of the Covid-19 pandemic, do you think it would be wise for us to make such a trip?

It’s too risky at this time, and you’re high risk. If one person has Covid, you can all get it. Alot of people are still getting very sick with covid and dying. Maybe after everyone has been immunized. Will you be driving or flying? Lines, packed planes, people not wearing masks...
No. I would not advise to make a trip.
