This is every flight at my airline.

Our company is the same. They’re passing out flyers saying to clean and disinfect everything, but there’s nothing to do it with.

Let’s see, multiple TSA have tested positive, Alaska air announced yesterday one of their staff (didn’t specifically say crew) had it, 25% of virus carriers show no symptoms and there are idiots who normally travel when sick and don’t cover their coughs or sneezes, the answer isn’t just no, it’s he!! No.

Backing up to my example of my in-laws, they drove. 2 nights/3 days. They're not the type to buy/pack an ice chest and rough it. They're not the type to do the drive-through at McDonald's. I don't know how easy it would have been for them to purchase a box of latex gloves for their trip home; by the time they were driving back, empty shelf syndrome had already hit our country's stores. So knowing that, their behavioral risk level is likely a bit higher than some of us on this board. And when they were checking out of one hotel along their trip, they overheard two of the front desk workers comment that a hotel employee had just tested positive for Covid-19. Fortunately they've been home for a week now and not terribly sick beyond sore throats, so maybe they dodged the proverbial bullet.

I was on three flights as a passenger last week. The flights into JFK and MIA were on aircraft large enough to have business class, and they were full. It’s amazing how quickly people drop the whole social distance thing when you offer them a free upgrade. I isolated as much as I could in back and wiped down every touch point and sanitized my hands repeatedly. I’d prefer to not be on an airplane right now but I don’t get that choice.

Unfortunately you were given entirely bad info, or they may have explained it in unclear terms.

No argument as all info gained was was through casual conversation and interpreted by laymen.
