This is not a good argument. When the virus is contained in one location, then, yes, travel of any kind will spread it to new locations. When the virus is ~everywhere, as it is now, air travel is a relatively uncommon activity and probably doesn't make a major contribution. — PolitiTweet.org

@bp22 IMO it's a pretty safe bet that travel is likely to increase—especially as business travel returns. (Anecdotally, as someone who gets invited to a lot of in-person events, there's been an uptick recently.) But, may be pretty hard to know how much of that to attribute to masks. — PolitiTweet.org

The average American eats at a restaurant about 250 times per year, whereas they travel by airplane about 2.5 times per year. Dining out and general nightly social activity is a much, much, much bigger contributor to COVID spread than air travel. — PolitiTweet.org
