Would you risk getting COVID-19 for unlimited flights?
Despite conclusive evidence that COVID-19 can spread rapidly on flights, airlines are attempting to woo passengers back onto planes with unlimited flight promotions. (nypost.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Yes, I’d rather get Covid a hundred times over than living one more day in this depressing world of Dictatorial rulers and fearful minions. A world where fear of dying by some, makes living a crime for all.
What conclusive evidence? I would really like to see it. One example (linked in the article) does not make this claim "CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE." I know the media sure would like to think they are the authority on health care, but we all know they are not. Because if rampant outbreaks on planes were as big of a problem as you describe them, the airlines would have been shut down -- and would still be shut down. And you would be seeing headline news about the outbreaks. What a sensationalist piece of garbage. I have been traveling non-stop, domestic and international, for over three months now. I was traveling full-time all the way through March, too. Have not been seeing anyone get sick. And guess what -- there are these people (they call them FLIGHT CREW) who fly EVERY DAY. And guess what? They aren't dropping like flies.
Social ism.
Of course, yes. No Henny Penny of Chicken Little in this engineer.
Would I risk the potential for a very limited life just to fly when ever I want?
If you can't take more than 10 steps without stopping to catch your breath, that makes a damn horrible experience traveling. OMG! To not be able to climb the stairs at the Great Wall? To not be able to walk the distance of Westminster Cathedral? To not be able to walk the pink beaches of Bermuda, and the black beaches of Hawaii? To have to wear oxygen because the pressurization of the plane isn't good enough to keep you from becoming cyanotic and passing out? To experience the changes to the blood when that happens?
All so you can have unlimited flights?
Sure...
HELL NO!!!
And there is no way to tell if you will be a 'long timer', who continues to experience horrific side effects from having the virus that 'effects no one'.
Wear a mask. Stay home, if you can. Avoid groups of people. If you don't feel well, fever, loss of taste. smell, fever, STAY HOME! This virus has killed far too many people so far, and, the worst news:
The virus is mutating in America. It's mutating like all viruses to, but if it goes the wrong direction, it really could end up being the 'new plague', that kills millions of people in months.
Allowing it to spread is encouraging it to mutate.
Someone slammed me with Ebola a few weeks ago. Here's the truth: Ebola and especially Marburg, do not die because of anything that modern medicine does. It dies out because it mutates to a non communicative state. It literally mutates into a brick. It's not contagious. It's not a problem. It does out. If it went the other way, or eventually DOES go the other way, Marburg, and Ebola, could the the THE virus that ends humans on this planet.
Now do some of you get it? Maybe? Please?

Kind of amusing to me how the one person here who realizes and undertands the truth behind this woeful virus gets voted down and the rest who seem to consider number 1 the only one to worry about get up voted.
I have a young wife who had the virus for 8 weeks until she eventually tested negative but in that period almost died over 2 times a week. That was 2 weeks since the negative test but after 3 days she was back in hospital as being an asthmatic her lungs are still suffering badly and she is on almost constant oxygen still. Believe us it is no joke and not to be treated with such disdain as the other doubters still seem to consider this almost a joke.
Whilst not always agreeing with you Robert, thank you for trying to get the message across on this occasion.

First I wish you all the strength and health in the world. Please don’t take me wrong, any measure that has an actual effect to battle this virus has my blessing. However stopping the entire world does not. I know many people, yet no one got sick, most of them are now unemployed and on benefits, effectively their lives are destroyed. Not by the virus, but by the way the world responded to it.
I know many people as well and know of people that were sick and sick now. I also have family members that had it and a few that have it now. On the other side, I also run three small business and each of them have taken a MASSIVE hit in revenue, like so many have. This was set to be one of the best years yet in each of them. Funerals for some of these people either didn’t happen yet... or their were graveside burials that could have only 10 people attend. It is a tough time all around.
I couldn’t edit. I meant “there were graveside burials that...”
Perhaps you think the content of this story stinks and corporate hand outs is the way to go or simply push more airlines and related industries to the point of bankruptcy.
