Is there any information about how much risk of exposure increases by air-travel?
Like Ŀady Jade Beacham, I am considering flying out to my parents house in Arizona. If I need to quarantine for multiple weeks to months, that would be a much more comfortable place to be, for me.
The crux is how much risk going on an airplane entails. Does anyone have an estimate of how much the probability of infection goes up, given (~ 3 hours of) air travel?
What things can you do to make it safer? (Things like wearing a mask, wiping down the seat with disinfectant wipes, buying the seats on either side of you so that you're more isolated.) How much do those interventions help?
With so many unknowns about covid, and how it's transmitted, or how long it remains active on surfaces, it sounds dicey. With a finite number of planes and the high number of travellers arriving @ places with the virus, you have to wonder if there are any planes left that aren't potential transmission transit tubes. So many places in those closed environments for covid to hide. I'm guessing the ability fully sterilize a jetliner has to be nearly impossible.
