>The likelihood of being infected by a COVID infectious passenger coughing in the seat next to you in a single-aisle airplane (no empty seat between you) is lower than if you sat/stood 6 feet apart in your office/home/shopping center (in both cases masks are worn). Color me sceptical. Are we comparing standing face to face with a coughing person 6 feet apart for 3 hours to a person sitting next you on a plane? Because I can guarantee you no one is standing face to face while they cough at you in the office for any significant length of time. I'll need to see more detail about their methodology. Also, it will need to come from someone who is not the International Air Transport Association, a trade and lobbying group for the airlines.
