When will you feel safe to travel? 5 epidemiologists share hopes, fears, data and guesses [Los Angeles Times]
How do you measure the risks of pandemic travel, and when will the time be right to go again?
We asked five infectious disease experts, including one who hadn’t left home in four days, one who has taken two Mexican vacations since March and one who recently awakened from a COVID/Disneyland nightmare.
The first thing we must do, they agreed, is stay close to home for at least several more months, get vaccinated, and watch virus transmission and ICU numbers closely. Putting down the pandemic in California and elsewhere, they said, will depend on how faithfully we use masks, keep our distance and wash our hands habits that will remain vital as authorities strive to vaccinate 300 million or more Americans by summer.
