    It will cause a big fiasco if they do.

    Oregon has 3 cases on record now of the new variant. California has a big spike in cases.

    Yeah, it will be a pain some people's ass...but I think it needs to be done. We have the science, and we need to follow it.

    It’s too late, in that they never should have stopped requiring that and also if cases are up restricting flights now won’t help any.

    I seem to remember back in 2020, passengers with covid are what brought the virus to us. And one passenger with this variant on a long trans-atlantic flight could easily transmit it multiple other passengers on the same flight.

    My most recent booster was in May (I think). I'm probably not eligible for another for a while.

    Me too...I'm vaxxed and boosted x 3....and all I know is that my wife who is also vaxxed but with one less booster than me, tested positive a while back and it knocked her on her ass for a day or two, and two days later, after developing a low grade fever and scratchy throat, I tested positive. Felt like crap for the rest of that day...and when I woke up the next day I had zero symptoms...surprised the hell outta me.

    I actually feel safer on planes than many other places. The filtration systems on planes are amazing. Restaurants on the other hand...

    Sorry to hear this man. Hope you are OK.
    Honest question, at this point, why did you take a test? Nobody in our family ever got it. Or we might have and didn’t realize. Just wondering. I’m not up to speed, but didn’t they say it is no longer a threat to us? Please educate me FAMS. Get well.
