I understand it sounds that easy, but my situation is difficult because my grandfather, with whom I'm very close, has terminal cancer and won't live to see 2021. He wants me there. What would you do?

There is no way to 'fly cautiously'. It does not exist in this period.
And unless you are postponing Thanksgving to two weeks from now, there is no way you will be able to get tested properly to protect your family. Are you just going to pop in for a quick test when your plane lands??
The virus doesn't care if it is 10 minutes or one hour.
SMH.
Lost my Uncle and Aunt to convid and my father is in a nursing home and his grandkids might never see him again due to covid.
Stay home and keep it under control.
edit: not looking for sympathy, but wanted to point out that lives have been affects regardless if they are in your circle or not.
Also you can test negative right before you become contagious.
I've convinced my family to wear masks and distance the entire gathering.
This is a horrible idea. Why the fuck do people think flying is ok right now?I am flying to visit my parents. I do this cautiously, getting tested before and after
I know my family is going to hug. I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. My wife and I are discussing not going but I'd hate to disappoint my grandpa. Fuck this virus.Good luck. We tried this when my SO's grandfather died a few weeks ago and her idiot family refused to mask and tried hugging everyone after swearing they wouldn't.
It's going to be difficult & uncomfortable, but the correct course of action is to disappoint your grandfather. The alternative is rolling the dice and potentially killing him, and I'm not saying that to sound dramatic. That's just reality.I know my family is going to hug.

It actually does - reducing time definitely reduce transmission risk. BUT one hour still carries risk, and given we are at historic proportions, essentially no indoor visits should be considered safe right now to dramatically drop risk.
Contributing to the odds of his catching COVID and dying a sooner and likely worse death is wrong. You're right. I think we'll stay home this time and just give a call.It's going to be difficult & uncomfortable, but the correct course of action is to disappoint your grandfather.

I don't envy you. I would personally go see my grandfather if he had terminal cancer even if it is dangerous.I know my family is going to hug. I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. My wife and I are discussing not going but I'd hate to disappoint my grandpa. Fuck this virus.
