A member asked:
If someone is immunocompromised due to medical treatment, but has a consult with a specialist several hundred miles away, would driving there be safer in terms of infection risk (8 hour drive) as opposed to flying commercial (1 1/2 hour flight)?

I will choose flying for 11/2 hours with a K95 mask all the time when inside the airplane.
