There’s no way you can really know how or where you got the virus, unless all you did the last 2 weeks was get on a flight and locked yourself in your home. But to say that it’s safe in cabins it’s just not true. You get the virus in crowed, enclosed spaces. That includes airplane cabins. I think chances of getting the virus because someone in the back of the plane has it is slim but certainly yes if they’re close to your row. At least folks have to wear masks, that does help.

That has to be popcopy. I'm just hoping the total death count goes down soon.

How does the “total death count” go down? People rise from the dead and their deaths are changed? Joking, I suppose you mean the the rate slows; I am not as hopeful going into the winter, unfortunately

That needs a little proofreading.

Once again, Covid is a contact virus, you get it by touching contaminated surfaces, or eating contaminated food. It can also be mechanically aerosoled into your upper nose, but that seems very rare, since mask mandates would eliminate this vector, and they haven't. Covid does not meet the scientific definition of an airborne virus.

I didn't say it was "safe", there is no such thing. I said it's safer than the activities which are proven to cause lots of spread, which are basically festive social activities with large groups and better yet booze. It's also safer than most public buildings, due to good cabin ventilation.
