...from AZ to WA. My mom just suggested that I should get the clot shot - which is not an option - to avoid any 'trouble' on the road while staying at hotels etc.
Are there any precautions that I should take, like avoiding certain areas (other than SD, LA, SF, and Portland) and should I be worried/on the lookout for anything in particular?
Yes, eastern WA is awesome, I have one based cousin over there. My sister in western WA is a teacher, woke, very liberal. I don't really want to go there but I have to see my 93-year-old mom, haven't seen her since 2019.
