[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]hello all! 
It seems to be in my very small world anyone who has traveled, flown or stayed in a hotel has come back with covid. I'm looking for stories of travel and no one got sick. Did you mask up? Did you stay in a hotel, fly or drive, eat out? Sleep in a hotel masked or unmasked, stuff like this. I'm immunocompromised and am trying to gauge as best as I can risky situations right now. Thank you for your help.[/quote]

My family of four returned 10 days ago from two weeks in Europe.  Almost no one there was masking and I'd say maybe 1/3 of people on the flights were masked.  Maybe.  We haven't gotten Covid.  So what did we do?  We wore masks religiously indoors.  We ate every single meal outdoors, except for a few in our hotel room. We stayed in three different hotels, and at each one we opened windows wide as soon as we checked in and kept them open whenever we were in the room.   We had a CO2 monitor that we used in hotel rooms to confirm the rooms were well-ventilated.  On the plane, we did not remove masks at all until after takeoff, once the plane ventilation was turned on (and then kept masks off for very short periods, to eat and drink).  Both adults in the family got second boosters a few weeks before the trip.

All that said, some of this is just luck.  Plenty of people take lots of precautions and still get Covid.  But I have to imagine the precautions also help a lot.  Best of luck!  [/quote]

This is helpful, thank you! I leave in less than a week so I’m hoping we don’t get it.[/quote]
