Reply to comment by Hillbl3 in I'm going to be driving back from D.C. to Ontario, and will be looking for a hotel room about 3-4 hours into the trip. Should I go I-70 to US-219 (staying in either Clearfield or Altoona) or US-15 to I-180 and stay between Selinsgrove and Williamsport? by MikeJeffriesPA

Haha fair enough, thank you.

We're eating at Ambar Capitol Hill for lunch, so the plan is to eat enough that we won't even want dinner until late. I'm also generally fine with traffic, I've done a lot of Toronto driving in my life, so as long as i know what to expect and can plan accordingly, I should be good.

But I get what you're saying, plan for up to 4 hours of driving, traffic could be a nightmare.

We'll be taking the Metro to Bethesda, MD (that's where our hotel is) and then driving out of there, should I expect the same kind of issue as far as traffic?

And thank you for the heads up, should I aim to just have dinner in Breezewood, since we'll likely be crawling through there anyway?

I'll see if I can get any deals closer to when we go, but Lewisburg seems to be about $75-100 more expensive than the other towns.

Technically we'll be going from Bethesda, MD to the Peace Bridge (where we'll cross the border), and while Bellefonte is in the middle, we'd have to veer about 20 minutes off course (in and out, so 40 minutes total) to get there, since none of the north-south interstates run through it.

Thanks, my wife is leaning more towards Altoona as well, giving us a shorter drive after spending the day in D.C. and a longer drive when we don't have anything else planned.

And vaccinations do reduce spread.

Vaccination make you less likely to be symptomatic, and reduces the time that you're contagious (if you get to that point).

They don't prevent infection, but no vaccine in history has prevented infection. Vaccines teach your body how to defeat the virus, they don't prevent the virus from entering your body entirely.

Most people who die in car accidents were wearing their seatbelt, too.

If 80% of Americans are vaccinated, and 58% of deaths are those who are vaccinated...doesn't that mean the vaccines are at least doing something?

Especially considering older adults are most likely to be vaccinated and also the highest-risk group for COVID?
