Yeah, but .. One trip, one layover to a hot spot, a careless hotel room keeper at the layover hotel, an asymptomatic check in clerk, et alia. What value do you place on your health and your families health? I'm not sure I could live with myself going forward if, through my desire for an extra 10 hours, I brought home COVID to my family. My loyalty is to my family, not United Airlines. I, personally, would rather shelter in place for an additional month (May) and give the pandemic some extra time to simmer down. Guess that's why the options are voluntary. The fact that we are given an option to stay home and yet still receive partial pay as well as full benefits in lieu of a Leave of Absence is a blessing.
