Wear a mask on the plane ffs yeah
Plane, bus, tight enclosed spaces with unknown people
But
The first couple variants are dead, yeah?
Mostly, at least
The new variants trended towards more infectious, less deadly
In fact, that makes sense
You can't reproduce in a dead host
I can't say I've "Done The Research", I've fallen off the curve years ago, I would have a hell of a time parsing it
But from what I've heard and seen and experienced, the current strains going around are not NEARLY as deadly or dangerous as the ones we locked down for, in fact nearing flu-like symptoms in severity.
Am I saying no precautions should be taken?
No
In fact, I dare say that we should treat flu in general more like what it is.
But is it "OH NO WHY ARE YOU ON A PLANE" bad anymore?
No.
