When do you all think the US will open up travel from India again? I personally don’t see it happening anytime soon but the rest of my family seems to think it will open in the next few weeks.

What flying faux-pas are you guilty of, and what’s your defense? Non-exhaustive list of examples:

- Putting small items/coats in the overhead bins
- Reclining your seat
- Choosing a window seat but leaving the shade down
- Taking your shoes off
- Wearing pajamas on the plane
- Watching videos at full brightness on red-eye flights
- Talking on your phone/FaceTiming before takeoff
- Eating smelly foods from the terminal at your seat e.g. burger, tuna sandwich, bacon-egg-and-cheese
- Others?

I am constantly second guessing myself and I feel like other attorneys at my firm look at me like I’m a moron. I.e.

Have read a lot of chatter about US not allowing exports of raw materials for vaccines being a problem. These raw materials do not impact Covishield or Covaxin, so not sure how it is a problem. These are only needed for the yet to be tested Novovax. Plus I feel vaccines will not help with the immediate crisis - there is no way we can vaccinate 600million people in time. A March 2020 style lockdown is the only real solution in my opinion to deal with this immediate crisis.
