Taking non-essential flights
The good news is that, overall, air travel is down. The bad news is that it appears to be open season as soon as a holiday pops up. If you look at this chart from the TSA reporting traveler numbers, you’ll see that on the first of January of this year, there were well over a million airline passengers. These travelers must have gotten some memo we missed about how COVID-19 politely takes time off while people travel around for the holidays. Please excuse me while I wipe up the sarcasm dripping from that last sentence.
Here’s the real memo: the CDC reports that the risk of wide-spread infection during long flights is very real.
