This Doctor infected by COVID-19 teaches us an important lesson.

Dr. Joseph Fair was meticulous in staying disinfected and following the protocols to avoid COVID-19. Yet, this doctor could not escape an environment conducive to spread.

Guess he had to travel on business. The take away is don't get on a plane if you can somehow avoid it.

We don't know what style mask he had worn... Even if it is a surgical mask style, that tells us it may not be enough for flights...

I so hope there is tracing of all flight passengers on this flight...we need to rule out the flight or confirm source of the flight as vector pool. He was practicing excellent if not top-notch protection...that scares me.
