Do people really need to hear statements from an official to be panicky and alert about a pandemic? The first time it was announced, I was disinfecting my househould and staying away from folks coughing and sneezing.

You can catch TB the same way. Now that we have a flu going around and killing people, it is almost common sense and smart not to be in compact spaces where one person can sneeze and it spreads to everybody..duh.

I didnt need to hear Biden say anything to make this situation personal to me.

And didn’t Biden say that it was HIS personal opinion in regards to his family? That HE didn’t want HIS family to fly on planes?

I think Joe answered the question “if you had to advise your family what would you say” or something along those lines. He did not say all Americans should avoid flying… but like you I agree! I once contracted pneumonia on a long haul flight from Amsterdam to Atlanta, sitting next to a man who didn’t want to cover his damn mouth every time he coughed during the 9+ hour flight.

@Anti Palin had people in her own party not feeling her as well. She is an air head who can see Russia from her house..LOL Palin has no book or common sense. At least Joe has some brains. I still dont know how the ppl of Alaska elected her as Gov being as ditzy as she is. In any case are you saying you would be ok with Palin as your President?

Biden has stuck is foot in his mouth before but in this case I don’t see anything wrong with what he said.
