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

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

Per survey data, Americans have restaurant meals ~5 times per week which is about 250 times per year. Many or most of these are not fancy meals but fast food, a quick lunch, etc. There's also a little bit of ambiguity about how takeout is counted. https://t.co/nak6tBbtaC — PolitiTweet.org

250x? where does that data come from? https://t.co/jvCW9Lm64s
