I don’t understand why Canadians would expose themselves to the higher number of cases and mortality rates by flying through the US and having layovers in several crowded airports. I’d love to be in Jamaica now but I wouldn’t want to pick up the virus on the way down and pass it on to the locals. Just my thoughts.
The article I posted pretty much explains the thought process. But a couple things you need to keep in mind. First, the mortality rate stats are rarely if ever quoted in the mainstream media. So people are being kept in the dark about the facts. And now everyone is being tested for Covid on international flights, so Canadians are essentially travelling with other pre-tested negative travelers.

And no airport is crowded at this time...
