Yes, Mr. Biden put his foot in his mouth. Aircraft built after the 747 all have circulation systems that recycle air not front to back, but side to side in the plane. Having lived in Asia during the SARS virus in 2003, panic is not the way to deal with the situation….wash your hands, people! Dave Lowe, author of ‘Sandwiches Should NEVER Taste Like Cow Crap

Your grandmother is one smart and sharp cookie! She is totally correct in what she has said and Biden needs to take a lesson from your gramms STAT! Being 93 she has seen tons and could teach us all a lesson on life. I live in Seattle too and so many people freaking out about this swine flu thing. I had two young girls run into my grocery store asking if we carried medical masks. I looked at them coldly, told them no and to go home and wash their hands. They didn’t like my reply and huffed out of the store. I am beginning to hate Americans and people in general. But I like your gramms way of thinking.

Linda, perfectly said!! In 93 years my grandmother has seen so much and knows when it’s time to panic and when it’s not. She inspires me every day!

Deb, thank you. My grandmother has made it to 93 years, healthy and happy by staying out of the limelight and leading a quiet, simple life. So many of us can learn from her example!

At 93, your grandmother has seen it all and knows that this too shall pass. Wishing her a great trip and good health.

Your grandma is BRILLIANT. Sounds like she’d do pretty well as VP!

Kat,
Panic never helps and you have to consider the odds. It’s not as if the entire country of Mexico is sick but you do need to know that travelilng through those Mexican airports can mean delays, etc. It’s all about reading up on the areas of highest risk, like Mexico City, and then being smart about what you do and where you go.
We need to get Biden the book. He might like the shark diving suggestion.

Jeryl, I love the “Keeping the Scare Tactics at Bay”!!! Where shall we suggest he go to learn that?

He isn’t stopping us! Good for your grandmother! Someone in his position should know better but I am sure there are a lot of folks thinking the same things he did. My friends daughter is getting married in Mexico in June. Should she panic? I don’t think so as it is at an all inclusive resort. At least I hope they don’t all panic and stop the wedding.

Come on Joe! Get some Travel Therapy. We did!

Yes, Joe Biden could learn a thing or two from your fearless and extraordinary grandma! You go Pat Crane! Bless you and have a fantastic trip flying across the U.S.
How about adding a Travel Therapy chapter devoted to Biden called “Overcoming Your Fears”. Or what about “Keeping the Scare Tactics at Bay”?
