"That’s not to say flying is perfectly safe — safety is relative and subjective. But as restrictions continue to change, the only way to move forward through this long pandemic is to start thinking in terms of risk-benefit ratios. Very little is without risk, but perhaps some risks — such as flying — are small enough to warrant taking." Only took 5 months to come to this conclusion?!

Don't forget that everything he says should probably be ignored because it's not peer reviewed.  :P

Those who ignore the item leading the opposite direction because they are not peer reviewed most definitely should ignore this too. Those who accept it blindly despite it not being peer reviewed should accept papers leading the opposite direction just as blindly. Those who view any of them as something to take with a grain of salt should do that here too. THose who accept one direction blindly and discount the other are not really accepting or rejecting anything. They are simply going with their own boich svoro and grabbing onto anything which bolsters it. THis is known as a שמועה לאחר המעשה

So basically you translated my post for those that can't read my nuanced sarcasm.

Yup. Too many here have had difficulty understanding nuance.

Even though I voted "NO" when this poll first appeared, my answer became "Yes." The experience was overall a positive one.  Empty middle seats, plenty overhead space, no meal service, and many empty rows to stretch out in.  It was quite peaceful, not an adjective I'd typically associate with airplane travel.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
