Forced cross-country road trip during COVID-19?
So I am currently living in my car in Southern California after leaving my abusive partner. My job in California is now not making me enough money due to the virus. I have an online job lined up, but since everywhere is closed there is no way to get wifi or electricity anywhere to use my laptop. So now I have to drive from California to Ohio to live with my sister in a few weeks after I get enough gas money. I’m worried about being stopped and questioned during this trip. I won’t be staying at any hotels, I just sleep in my car with my best friend. I’ve made this road trip multiple times before, but I’m worried now since I’ve read police in some states are stopping people traveling. Will I be stopped and forced to give information or an address of a place I’m staying at for quarantine in each state? won’t be getting hotels or even stopping driving more than 1 night to sleep halfway.
Before anyone comments telling me not to do this road trip, this is an essential trip. I’m a 21 year old girl and it’s dangerous for me to be living in my car with my other female friend so I have to go to my only family across the country. When I go on these road trip I don’t even go to restaurants or stores or anything non-essential normally, so I definitely won’t be making contact with anyone on this trip either. There is a lot more to my situation and if I don’t go to Ohio I’ll lose all my belongings and can’t pay any of my bills, so I have to go.
For the list of states I’ll be going through, I’m deciding which of 2 routes I’ll be taking. I’ve driven both of these before many times. If one of the routes is better to take right now like with less restrictions please let me know!!
Route 1: California -> Nevada -> Arizona -> Utah -> Colorado -> Nebraska -> Iowa -> Illinois -> Indiana -> Ohio
Route 2: California -> Arizona -> New Mexico -> Texas -> Oklahoma -> Missouri -> Illinois -> Indiana -> Ohio
Sorry this is kind of all over the place, I’m really anxious about this.
