Air is refreshed roughly every two to three minutes — a higher rate than in grocery stores and other indoor spaces, experts say. But that doesn’t mean flights are completely safe. For example, if someone sneezes and passengers nearby aren’t wearing masks, even if briefly to eat a snack, the sneezed air could increase their chances of inhaling particles. The potential for exposure may be just as high, if not higher, in the airport terminal. Philip Montgomery for The New York Times 9.

Sustainable Development Solutions Network. The annual survey uses data from interviews of more than 350,000 people in 95 countries, with questions like, “Did you smile or laugh a lot yesterday?” and “Were you treated with respect all day yesterday?” The top 10 countries, which include the four other Nordic countries, have different political philosophies than in the U.S., No. 14 on the list. What makes Finland so special? It is far from perfect — far-right nationalism is on the rise and unemployment is high — but its public school system is among the best in the world, child care is affordable, college is free and its universal health care system is good.
