Chicago woman quarantined in airplane bathroom for 3 hours after testing positive for Covid-19 mid-flight
After a woman tested positive for Covid-19 midflight, the bathroom became her seat for the next few hours. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
This is a ridiculous story. If she "suddenly developed" a sore throat, why not just put on a mask take some fluids, and keep her mouth shut. Why tie up a toilet that has no safety features, ie: a seat belt? This is just stupidity in the highest order.
Isn't time to stop testing after the plane is boarded? This shouldn't even be a story.
Sp many holes in this story. First she was from Michigan, and no mention as to how she boarded without taking the required test. Now she's from Chicago and had taken NINE (9) tests in 48 hrs before the flight. Icelandair will confirm all of this. The rapid tests everyone is clamoring for don't work all that well. Only an antibody test does - adminstered at a hospital 72-96hrs for results. If you have the antibodies you don't need the vax or a mask. This is the beginning of tyranny.
Matt, you're wrong. The antibody test simply reveals whether you've been exposed to the disease. It does not guarantee immunity. Second, the test you are mean to refer to is a PCR test, which detects particles of the virus. While more accurate than an antigen test, it can display more false positives. Either way, there is no immunity, but the best protection, personally and globally, is the vaccine and a properly worn mask.
All correct Craig. The problem is that 99.99% of masks are either not effective and/or properly worn. Masks, as what people do today, do nothing to prevent the transmission of illness and by many studies help to spread it by their use. Face diapers may make some people feel good but that is the best they do.
So what you are implying is, since they are 99.99% ineffective, if we all ditched these "masks" today, the transmission rate would remain a constant and there would not be a tremendous upward spike?
Bingo! But don’t sweat omicold. When you get it you probably will not even know it. Fam went through it recently. Low grade fever and congestion was the worst of it for us old folk.
Omicold!!! Epic! I'm stealing that.
Not Bingo..not all who get COVID, be it 1st strain, Delta, Omicron, get it the same. I have had Omicron...headaches, mid grade fever, sneezing and a rotten taste in my mouth.
The only people who should wear a mask are people who have COVID and are around others.
