"Back in the 2010s, I averaged almost 100,000 miles a year on business travel.
I went to endless Linux, open-source, and cloud conferences. When COVID-19 hit,
I went from flying around the country and to Europe every few weeks to driving
to the grocery store every few weeks. Now, I'm back on the road — and in the
air — again. So far in 2022, I've been to Boston, Valencia, Spain, and Austin
for work. I expect to finally make it to Dublin, Ireland, and numerous spots in
the US before the year is over.
So, do I recommend traveling for business again? Hell, no. It's not safe out
there. It really isn't. It only seems safe.
Public health services in many countries are simply no longer measuring cases
accurately. It's like putting a blindfold on while you're driving down the road
and believing that since you can't see the other cars, you're safe."
Via Steven Vaughan-Nichols, who wrote "I’ve made three business trips this
year, and I’ll be doing more. But, should you? No, you probably shouldn’t."
