I can find plenty of information of this question in the UK, but nothing here. I'd have to agree with Sparkle... contact the governor's office in each state they would be driving through. Hotels etc. may not be open, so he's going to want to check on that too.

I know several folks that have made very long, cross-state drives instead of flying to take care of family business. You're fine driving like that, but it's like the others said, hospitality based businesses may be in short demand, so best to check in advance what's open along the route.
I feel a lot more like I do now, then when I first got here

YOu can't travel to Florida, they placed a ban from out of state except for truckers.
My son is currently on a plane to California and they had a change in route and had a stop over in Dallas instead of non-stop. He said they were confronted by sheriffs and asked if they were staying. If yes, they were required to fill out a form of where they will quarantine for two weeks. If caught on the street you can be fined 1000 dollars and 180 days in jail.
You can't drive through Texas either.

Wow, thanks for the info Ana, didn't know about all of that. We've got family just outside of Dallas. Their parents were planning on visiting them, not sure if they knew about those restrictions.

You are welcome, Drac! I found it looking for my son to be sure he wouldn't have any issues arriving in Cali (or coming home next weekend!). I was just seeing that on FaceBook My10. Sad.

I just saw that too. He had been doing better so I hoped he would be OK. 73 is just too young!

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. Truly, it helps.
We did go boating, though it turns out there is a ban on retention of Springs until July, to help the Southern Resident Orca population recover, so we took a long ride up to Bute Inlet. Snowy peaks, porpoises, sea lions; a perfect way to get away from COVID worries.
Very sad about John Prine. That's one of the nasty things about this virus. It seems to get a second, more dangerous wind in some cases.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

I've read that same thing about it getting a "second wind" and killing. Listening to an epidemiologist the other day and there is SO much about this virus they simply don't know yet. It does not behave like any of the other common corona viruses.
Today hubby is going fishing at the small lake on our 120 acre family farm property about 15 minutes away. I'm about 2/3 of the way done with weeding around the house, so we have plenty to do. Using the on-line shopping and pickup option at the local grocery store and getting everything else from Amazon or Chewy.

I've heard that, until a 'cure' is found, social distancing, in some form, will become normal during this time of year. It isn't a one time thing because it's too strong to just disappear.
Life's a puzzle; one piece at a time.

The epidemiologist I was listening to the other day said this is most likely going to settle into a seasonal illness like the flu. It would be like finding a "cure" for the common cold or the seasonal flu. This one just doesn't behave like the other corona viruses. My ICU nurse neighbor said a benefit of social distancing has been a drastic reduction in seasonal flu cases.

I saw that, too. Amazing.
The curve is apparently flattening here in BC, though it's going to be a while before we get back to normal. We don't have a huge number of cases on the Island yet. BC Ferries are checking people for symptoms before they allow them on board, and there are fewer sailings, so the physical barrier of the ocean is probably helping us.
We're enjoying the solitude. This year we won't have an influx of visitors from Vancouver, so we'll be quite peaceful this summer.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

I went grocery shopping this morning, wearing a mask, carrying sanitizing wipes and a spray bottle of alcohol with me. All I needed was a whip and an old fedora. When I got to the store, I could have sworn I heard the theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark build-up the closer I got to the store
