I wouldn't do anything special. Don't live in fear.

This. They better allow hand sanitizer on. 2 ounces isn’t enough if you are using it right.

As others have said flying is safer than going to WalMart/Grocery Store
If you are a healthy adult with 1 or less chronic conditions the hospitalization and/or death rate is extremely small even if you do get Covid
I do realize that people are still flying. You are wrong to suggest that the numbers are high. Air travel is down by 95%.
I would be very interested in seeing some data on air travel being safer that the grocery store. Do you mean per trip or per minute? I don't buy it.
I'm uninterested in getting this virus whether I am hospitalized or not. It is a brutal, brutal illness for many people who aren't hospitalized.
Down by 95% is correct. That means 100K still flying daily (as of April 20)
The TSA screened more than 2 million people per day in April of last year. Now, it screens about 100,000 daily.

^^Also I have done the drive a number of times when I didn't really need a nap at all.

-Listen to music, podcasts and audio books
-Take Clorox wipes into public restrooms and wear gloves and mask in there, wipe down everything I will touch, wash and/or Purell hands before getting back in my car
It's doable, although might be more of a struggle if you had to bring kids with you. I hate to fly though so a solitary drive is the better option for me.
How long is your drive
Usually about 14 hrs but that includes at least one stop for a sit down meal, without that probably around 13 depending on how long a nap I might need.

masks don't protect you. They protect people around you from you.

As long as you’re not old and/or a fattie, flying is just fine.

Interesting article on 2 layers vs. 1 for masks (and relative effectiveness in general):
https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/best-materials-make-diy-face-mask-virus/
If you're using dish towel material, 2 layers is quite a bit better than 1. If you're using t-shirt material, there's not much difference at all.
