Would this possible exposure prevent me from flying? Even if AA allows me to fly, is it ethical to?
I'll have negative rapid and PCR tests to show before the flight.
Even if you are COVID-positive, current CDC guidelines say if asymptomatic you can stop quarantining after 5 days. If you are vaccinated, in the absence of a positive test and symptoms, it has been ok to continue with life as usual per CDC guidelines since last spring.
Testing is an extra step for your peace of mind, but I would say that if you are PCR negative after 8 days since the exposure, you're probably safer than most flyers at the airport, who don't need a test before a domestic flight.
