One thing that I couldn't find and will re-read the article: seems that they are just concluding this from one airline that enforce masks.
Comparing the numbers from other companies would give better information.
- AndrewBissell 6y agoI think the reason Emirates was the main focus is because they are particularly strict in enforcing mask wearing on their flights.
- ihattendorf 6y agoRight, but are the results similar to other airlines that aren't as strict?
- AndrewBissell 6y agoAh I see what you mean, good question!
- cjj 6y agoDOD and United Airlines had a study out last week that backs this up. There was also a report from iata with studies from Airbus, Boeing and Embraer. Flying is almost certainly not as dangerous and people perceive it to be.
- mcguire 6y agoPerhaps. But masks are most effective on preventing someone contagious from infecting others and only secondarily in preventing you from being infected. As a result, you may find the risks are higher on airlines that are less strict than Emirates.
