And now? CoVid is as
transmissible as measles. Or almost as.
Yet airplane transmission minimizers would have us believe we can safely ride planes.

I leave to your homework to determine:
1. rate of polio, and outcomes;
2. compare/contrast with that of COVID-19.
Are they similar? Dissimilar? Do we know enough about COVID-19? Long-term/developmental? When will we see these things?
