Does that mean you shouldn’t gather on, oh say an airplane?

- grej 7y agoThis is a legitimate question IMO. You’re in much tighter quarters for far longer while flying most domestic routes.
- etxm 7y agoOur family went on self quarantine a week ago because one of us is immunocompromised, but we have travel plans for a wedding in 6 weeks.

- pdonis 7y agoI canceled an airplane trip I had planned for later this week precisely for this reason. I don't know that all flying should be stopped--I'm sure there are people whose reason for having to fly is urgent enough to outweigh the risk, and they should be able to make that decision for themselves. But I'm not one of them, so I'm not taking the risk.
- blendo 7y agoI’ve read the onboard HEPA filters are actually pretty effective at filtering out a typical 0.1 micron viruses. Right now, I’d probably hold out for a plane less than 1/3rd full. First class would probably be fine, too.
