If the govt was so freaked out about the spread of the virus, why do they allow 200+ people on airplanes for 3-5 hours, sitting inches from each other?

I'm on a packed 777 from Miami to dallas. - 3 hour flight, with 250 people.

You can't have thanksgiving with family but I can board a flight with 250 random people?

You're wearing a mask..that's why

You're right. We should shut down all air travel. Good idea.

Because science! THEIR science.

Money
Masks
Science
Control

The gubment loves the control feature of the mask.

It enables megalomaniacs to indulge themselves.

Can someone direct me to the thread for the dishonest questions?

And when you get to Dallas don't get mugged or have your car jacked because the police are not answering frivolous calls! You are on your own!

Covid can't live on planes.

Super scientific are filtration devices that were designed by our alien overlords from planet XH-891 have colluded with Boeing and Airbus in order to keep airplanes safe. Duh!

Because government officials need to fly themselves. They only shut down business that they don't want or need.

Aircraft are not good vectors for disease transmission due to the HEPA filter system. All air that is recirculated goes through multiple HEPA filters before being returned to the cabin. While there is a chance of catching something if you're sitting right next to a person, the risk if you're in the rest of the cabin is very low.

Also, the airlines are being hyper vigilant in cleaning the aircraft, with some using SurfaceWise 2, a highly effective cleaner which remains active for sometime after application.

Because we had an incredibly poor centralized response to this.

Because the government likes picking winners and losers.

Own a restaurant that is your entire livelihood? You lose.

Pack a bunch of people in an aluminum tube shoulder to shoulder? Sounds like a winner to me.

Don't get me wrong, I 100% think airlines should be allowed to operate at full capacity, but it makes me sick what our benevolent overlords have done to small business.

"This" wasn't/isn't deserving of a response. It's a virus. A weakass one at that.

I'm sure everyone has a mask that effectively stops the transmission and receipt of covid.

Simple answer? money

The US can't afford a 100% bailout and/or re-start of the airline industry. Neither in its direct costs to do so, or the costs to American businesses if the airlines stopped operating for a significant period of time.

If you're healthy & under 65, a 40-mile daily commute by car is more likely to kill you than COVID 19.

This is what is wrong with this country. The mentality that the government allows you to do things. They don't get to tell you what every day normal activities you can do. Most of these covid rules are not even laws. Executive orders are not laws. If we continue to follow non laws they will eventually become laws.

The hypocrisy that you can fly in crowded planes but not eat at restaurants in some states is utterly crazy.

No doubt. I flew my family of 5 from DFW to FLL (Fort Lauderdale) after Christmas for a few days and the American Airlines plane was PACKED both ways - all seats were full but a couple.

And the mask rule is a joke, but they're allowed to enforce it as a private business.

I kept mine below my nose most of the flight as a silent form of protest.

A Jetblue steward (although really a steward-dess by his actions) told my wife to "raise her mask above her nose" on the 5am EST hotel shuttle to the airport. I told him to never correct my wife and that he has ZERO jurisdiction on a shuttle as mask police. #Wuss

I didn't say it would cure coronavirus. However, you do have less people on the planes, and more room for yourself (which is nice).

This is the made up answer.

Relying on some hepa filtration while the aircraft sits at the gate with the circulation not running is pure bunk. Masks are magical while people are walking up and down the aisle during boarding

The truth is only what you are being told to believe as the truth.

The people sitting one foot in front of you, one foot behind you, three feet across the aisle or two feet across the middle seat? Not a threat.

Please point me to the science that aircraft HEPA systems stop CV. They can't stop the flu.... people get sick from their neighbors on planes all the time.
