15. Yep, you nailed my concerns about traveling.

How can we trust any place to actually do the things they say? Restaurants are supposed to be at no more than 50% capacity, but they are filling up every seat they can, regardless. I've seen this at 2 restaurants that bragged about their safety precautions when I called in advance.

If I can't trust them to follow safety procedures when it's totally obvious, how can I trust hotels or Air2BNB's when I don't know them and have no way of verifying for myself that they actually do the deep cleaning before I get there and do they use masks all the time or just for the pictures? At home, I can just not go in or walk out, but that's harder when you are out of town, tired and this place has your reservation and it's too late for anyplace else.

Air travel, don't even get me started. Saw some puff pieces about how traveling on a plane isn't unsafe, but it never mentions the reality of crowded airports, restaurants & lines to board a plane and get off a plane, going through Immigration control, etc.
