In both cases, it's the crowding that causes the danger. But people don't absolutely HAVE to fly on airplanes -- there are alternatives, including Zoom. But when people are REQUiRED to show up in person to work, as they must be at all factory jobs, it's the work requirement that brings the added danger, and refusing to work brings jeopardy to one's livelihood -- it's a choice without much choice.

The SCOTUS would appear to be following contradictory logic to reach contradictory rulings.
