Probability of getting Covid-19 in an airline cabin
- Vmody2 6y agoConsidering I'm flying tomorrow, this is a reassuring read. But cabins aren't the whole story. There's arguably more human interaction in the airport and terminals before the flight itself (check in, security, buy a coffee) Quick search came up with this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2020/07/20/travel-tips-how-to-assess-if-an-airport-is-high-risk-for-covid-19/#30a0f90c788b https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2020/07/20... which has some more cautionary numbers.

- raiyu 6y agoA lot of the information here looks like it’s direct from airlines. Obviously they have no benefit from touting the safety of air travel. Right? end sarcasm
