Lightbulb Thinking to take a day-trip from NYC to ATL. Your feedback?

I am thinking to take a day-trip to ATL from New York primarily for getting a haircut ! There is a barber shop in ATL near the baggage carousal and it is probably open. I am 99.9999% certain that I am not a SARS-Cov-2 carrier and I have the antibodies. So I am not a risk to others. I haven't traveled since the first week of March. It will be really interesting to experience the new paradigm of travel. I am not planning to stay in Atlanta. Will try to fly-in and fly-out in the same day. I am not sure if the hotel rooms are thoroughly disinfected. It might be a good idea to avoid the hotels for the time being.

Admiral Clubs are still closed, right?

Any thought, suggestion, advice, feedback, comment? I posted a question about the barber shop in the travel destination forum. Here you have the details about the barber shop.

ATL | Is the Barbar Shop open?

Thanks. Stay safe and healthy.

I’m not sure what this has to do with American Airlines specifically and I’m not sure if American Airlines is operating direct flights between LaGuardia and Atlanta right now. All that being said, I don’t believe in all the travel shaming that’s going on right now, but also maybe consider local barbers that will come to your apartment— I’m sure they would appreciate the business!

If this is a serious post, which I doubt, let me ask you how you know you are not an asymptomatic carrier?

I’ve heard this is illegal in some states.

What compelled you to start two threads on this topic (a TOS violation even if you were being serious)?

As this is cross-posted in the destination forum, where the topic is more appropriate, and this has nothing to do with AA, I will close this thread.
