I’m not an expert but the virus usually takes days to show up. If you pass someone it doesn’t mean you’re going to get sick right then and there. I’m wondering why now, why didn’t they set this up early last year already. I can’t think of too many other professions where we put ourselves at risk than flight crew. The pilots especially since most don’t wear the mask, not that it matters, and you’re sort of just trusting the other person wasn’t partying it up in a COVID party before the trip. When I hear about this, I’m not thinking what hotel am I supposed to get when I test positive and who pays for my Uber. I’m thinking it would be nice to know the other person was infected.
