it'd seem the primary reasons we lack an abundance of spread on flights is because passenger travel is down some 85% and the general difficulty in knowing transmission with certainty, especially in the US
the airline trade association said pre-pandemic levels of air travel is 4 years away and i imagine that's an uncomfortable situation for many people. but yeah, no way. they ain't gonna upsell me on passenger air travel right now
the fuselage may be safer than the terminal or security but i'm good for now staying put. i'll stick with takeout, vidya, and the occasional park play date or picnic rather than the trip to Europesomewhere
