That depends on 1) your personal health 2) your personal risk tolerance 3) the people you would potentially expose to Covid if you caught it (eg do you live with parents? See grandma on the weekends?)

I've been on 12-15 flights since April and have taken advantage of planes being wide open. I just landed back home from a trip last night. I wouldn't hesitate to travel again. Bring a mask and some hand sanitizer.

Other than boarding/deplaning, risk is pretty low as long as mask policies are enforced.

I took 3 flights from March o wards. If you are keeping distance wearing masks and not getting in the long queued eateries you should be fine

I was wondering the same thing as I’m contemplating taking a flight to NY soon on Delta or JetBlue and staying in an Airbnb. 🤔

I think the idea that flying isn’t safe is becoming less prevalent. Maybe even less risky than a grocery store - ventilations systems on those airplanes are top notch and masks are mandatory.

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
