I agree with what you're saying. Another angle: I know a guy that was sent home from the Air Force Academy. But they kept the seniors on campus to finish out the year. The reason the Air Force Academy had graduation a month early this year is because a couple of the senior cadets they kept on campus committed suicide. What was the reason? I don't know. But, it's very atypical for even one suicide out of all the classes. Maybe it was related to stay in place order or covid in general. I don't know.

I'm prone to support stay in place to reduce the amount of death from covid, but I'm increasingly cognizant of the potential negative unintended consequences of doing that. There must be a balance somewhere.

By all means stay home and hide. I’ll be out and about without a mask as I have been day one.

I hate to try and get things back on topic, but does anyone know what percent of pilots accepted recall from previous furloughs?
