Until the airlines pull their heads out of their asses & start actually protecting people by 100% enforcement of vaccine mandates/testing & masking, I will not fly. Life is too stressful for me to deal with any added stress at all and I can't risk infecting my immunocompromised sister. I am fully vaccinated, Moderna, and am just waiting for the approval to get through to one of the local pharmacies so I can get it scheduled!
