Dr. Abraar Karan joined us on ‘TMZ Live’ to ask him how to tackle Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s … all while ‘rona is still lurking. He gave us some great tips on flying, testing beforehand and gatherings in general.
Dr. Karan — who works at the Harvard & Brigham Women’s Hospital — dropped much-needed knowledge about boarding commercial jets. He says improved air circulation has made air travel much safer, but there are still a few factors to keep in mind.
The most important one is … how many other passengers are on board — but he says the duration of the flight is also critical to reducing your COVID-19 risk. BTW, he also strongly suggests going windows down during Uber or taxi rides.
As for sitting around a dinner table … Dr. Karan noted a few misconceptions about getting tested beforehand and thinking you’re home-free for home gatherings. It’s not quite that simple, and he explained why you could still unknowingly pass the virus … along with the stuffing.
Great tips here for traveling, IF you’re planning to do so — but the good doc is hardly recommending it. His biggest piece of advice … if you and your peeps can avoid shindigs this year, you should. It’s in everyone’s best interest.
