Air travel is a bigger spread of disease, should we ban air travel?

This is not the slam dunk "no" you think it is.

I believe you're joking, but if not, it's about tradeoffs and Pareto optimal solutions.

Lifestyles and civilization doesn't significantly change if we all halve or eliminate need for factory animal farms in developed countries.

Isn't meat, like, a significant part of most people's diets?

[jvanderbot]

Most people? No not by a long shot. Most Americans? Maybe.

So is any travel especially public. Should we just do permanent lockdown. Only allow people in essential jobs or jobs that can't be done from home to get outside their houses?

[Ekaros]

If we really wanted to stop diseases from spreading, we could go back to lockdowns. That would clearly be effective way. And also it would be effective in combating climate change.
