Think about it.
The safest thing is to stay home. Order groceries online and practice total isolation for months and hopefully you will not go stir crazy. I know I would.
Luckily, soaring is not dead everywhere.

There is increasing evidence that most COVID transmission is airborne:

This is different from other infectious diseases that are transmitted by touching an infected surface. One reporter infected 4-5 friends at lunch and none touched any of the others or their food, plates or utensils. Wearing a mask does not protect you from an infected person - it protects others from you. CV size is 125nm; good air filters only catch 1000nm particles and non-medical grade masks don't stop it either. And if you do get sick it won't be like the flu - it will likely be worse, much worse.

Do viruses swim through the air like sperm going for a goal?
