"The risk of contracting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during air travel is lower than from an office building, classroom, supermarket, or commuter train."
Do you go to the grocery store? Are you letting your kids go to school?
ETA: these aren't rhetorical questions -- if your answer is "no" to both questions, then I get it. But if it's "yes" to one or both then you are not being logically consistent. |
Wrong. First, trash, whore piece. Second, what is different in your examples?
1. How long do you go to the grocery store for? Do you move around while in the store? Can you maintain distance from whomever you want, walking away, stopping or taking a different aisle? Can you do that in a plane?
2. My kid is grown but teaches in a school. Mask 100% usage, open windows, lots of moving around. Not ideal though.
3. ETA -- oh look at the affiliations. And holy fuck look at the comments. This reads like a shitty defense whore expert report.

This article appears to contradict a widely reported instance of a 'superspreader' event during air travel:
www.smh.com.au/national/ruby-princess-passengers-on-qantas-flight-infected-at-least-eight-others-20200930-p560no.html"
"Unfortunately, the main safety problem is that on an airline passengers remain in close proximity to each other (often within 2 feet) and they are NOT necessarily required to remain masked during the entire flight. Airlines in fact encourage mask removal by providing food and beverages during most flights of greater than 1-2 hours duration"
4. Agreed, office buildings and commuter rails are trash.
