2020-2021 Fan Fest North America - San Diego?

I would want to go to fan fest but I fear planes, since they could crash. With the recent news of Kobe's accident makes me even more weary of flying craft. Although I live 1 state away Oregon I think that would be a 24 hour drive.

Planes are, statistically, the safest way to travel. More people die in auto accidents in a single year than likely the last 50 of flying related accident deaths. (commercial airlines)

But if you get in an auto accident odds are you can live and walk away from it. My mom, dad, and brother for example all have been in car accidents and all lived cause it wasn't a high speed collision or anything. If a plane has an accident there is no walking away from that.

Not exactly true. There have been airline accidents where people walked away with minor to major injuries. You only hear about deaths because it's incredibly rare for airline accidents to occur. And the media loves to capitalize on these instances cuz it gets them views.

Statistically speaking, you are more likely to be struck by lightning eights times consecutively than you are dying in a plane crash. If you prefer numbers: 1 in 5.4 million. That percentage is so absurd, a regular calculator can't process it. You're more than safe in a plane.

Kobe's accident was a helicopter crash. Copters are little more than flying engines, so when something goes wrong, there's little you can do to control it. Planes have wings, so if the engines fail, you can still control the glide. This is why US Airways Flight 1549 resulted in 0 fatalities.

You're complaining about having to travel domestically? Try being Canadian and having to go to an entirely different country for the North American fanfest. People outside the UK going to the EU fanfest are going to have to travel from all over Europe to make it to theirs as well. Hell, you're lucky.

Hey, I'd much rather it be in Toronto than West Coast USA all the time. Would take a fraction of the time for me to get there, and be more affordable.

Flying is safer than driving.

Well San Diego just had it's first confirmed case of the Corona Virus. I wonder if this will affect fan fest in any way?

Don't think so. At least at the current state of things, 80% of Corona Virus cases only show mild symptoms. The common Influenza is still a way more deadly disease, and it doesn't get events cancelled.

Well, despite that, it's still some time until FanFest, so the Corona Virus could get both more severe or regress.
