I took a flight today for the first time in 9 months home to Colorado. My protection was a mask and a face shield, but this person I saw had a full suit of protection on. The flight I was on turned out to be full, and almost every row had all three passengers filled. I was not expecting this, and it was incredibly anxiety provoking. Nevertheless, I made it home to my family and I will wait to see my grandma and friends until I get tested.
