    Wife just had covid. Low grade fever (99-99.7) for five days, puffy eyes, slight congestion. Honestly for her a cold was worse. Do it. Shut off the news, social media, don’t buy the propaganda. Get it done and make the money

    Do you consider these things during flu season?

    Sure sounds fun.
    Pays good.
    Don't really have to deal with the public minus the flying. Alot of hotels are pretty much locked down so you are good there.
    I stay in hotels a couple times a month if the state wants me to start stuffing quarantine people in there....those hotels are also closed to the public. It will just show up as no vacancy online.

    I'd do it.

    Truck driving is significantly more dangerous than covid19

    Personally, I'd be more worried about the growing civil unrest in the urban areas than I would be with Covid.

    Yeah, since covid has arrived, flights are empty as are hotels, so don't worry

    Disagree... COVID absolutely does factor in.

    However, a proper risk assessment will likely determine that if you follow best practices for cleanliness, social distancing, proper PPE, etc., that the risk of getting sick is reasonably low. Therefore, if you don't have any other significant underlying issues (e.g. severely immunocompromised), and the rest of the job suits you, go ahead.

    If you're under 50, healthy, no significant C-19 risk factors? In a New York minute... I'd still stay on a regimen of plenty of rest, vit-c supplements, and excellent eating habits, but yeah, I'd roll that dice...
