Hand sanitizer and alcohol were in abundance. I didn't eat or drink anything on the flights and my risks were minimal. If you are scared to fly, don't. But, If you "need" to be on the flight, don't come kvetching about it later when other people who need to be on the flight fill the middle seats. Your need is not greater than their need, Mr. Health Professional. Now, if NY wants to charter a flight to fly their volunteer health professionals home, more power to them.
