- “Christmas infections will seed New Year’s Eve/Day infections, leading to a peak around the 10th.

Around New Year’s, interacting with 15-20 people means a 50% chance of a COVID exposure. In a restaurant or plane, the risk jumps to >98%.”

@Brad @cstross makes me really joyful about having to go on multiple planes on the 5th.

@DavidNielsen @Brad @cstross Multiple planes are better than one long plane trip, because you can give yourself mask breaks outside/in airport spaces that have high ceilings. I’m wondering how I’m going to get through Tokyo->DC in the spring. I might have to do a layover in LAX *shudder* just to give my face a break.

@roque @Brad @cstross I am going through the Frankfurt and São Paulo airports, two massive international airports, plus that 11 hours flight between them, right after the new year COVID starts blooming.

I predict heavy masking on my part and none on anyone else.

@DavidNielsen @Brad @cstross May the odds be ever in your favor.
