He used a private jet to travel to the Bahamas even though travel was restricted due to COVID. There is video evidence (uploaded by him) of him and his collaborators, all from the US, in the Bahamas and not wearing masks. I'm not going to link the video, because he doesn't deserve the views, but you can find it yourself on Google.
He might have recovered from Covid before traveling. Either way, he posting a highly-publicized video in which he used his wealth to skirt international travel restrictions during the first months of a global pandemic. He did this mere months after posting a video about how easily such viruses spread. This is irresponsible at best.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> He used a private jet to travel to the Bahamas even though travel was restricted due to COVID. He had recovered from COVID and was not subject to any personal restrictions on travel. Commercial flights has been suspended at the time, while private ones had not. He didn't skirt any travel restrictions, and AFAIK he didn't use his wealth to do it (it was a Discovery Shark Week project, and Discovery hired the jet.)
- discardable_dan 5y agoSo, commercial travel was banned. Instead of being able to fly normally, he had to take a private jet -- because the islands said commercial flights from the US weren't okay. How else would you describe this, if not circumventing restrictions? That's like saying people who fly on private jets aren't circumventing TSA security, because TSA isn't required for private jets. This also doesn't justify his behavior once in the Bahamas, which included no social distancing or masking.
