Not sure sleeper train is any safer, unless there is crowd control and required mask wearing....

we understood that the most effective defense against the virus are the masks and the social distance, on the plane everyone is crowded, on the train if you want you are alone.

Of course we don't wanna fly, the heck you think we are, birds or some shit?

Really? It's all about the air circulation - I would have thought trains would be more likely to convey Coronavirus than a modern aircraft's circulatory system. But then again, I guess you can always open a window on a train :)

Sounds like the ground version of a cruise ship. What could go wrong?

immediately thought of joncstone 🤣

I don’t want to be in any common transportation 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️ That’s why I’m not traveling anywhere for a while.

Is that safer?
