Also keep in mind that since the discovery of the Corona Viruses in the ‘60s there has never been a successful vaccine. Don’t hold your breath, unless that’s the only way to avoid getting sick.

37 days
- Researchers find COV-19 could be contagious for up to 37 days now.... https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nat...241124531.html
- 10 times more lethal than the common flu: https://theweek.com/speedreads/90147...unologist-says
- Survives in the air for 3 hrs (from simply BREATHING).... contrary to popular belief... not just from coughing and sneezing: https://thehill.com/policy/healthcar...ive-in-the-air
- Inflicts long term lung damage if you are a survivor: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-...fying-21672219
- And yet airlines still let sick people fly... https://nypost.com/2020/03/12/corona...ests-positive/
Nothing is stopping airlines from:
- Creating a policy or adjustment to the contract of carriage forbidding anyone who is sick of anything from traveling.
- Providing Clorox wipes to everyone all the time, not just for COV-19.
- [added] Allowing any airline employee for calling out sick without fear or reprisal (as is the case now). Current airline policies, particularly BJ's use of PTO, dependability policy encourage sick people being at work.

If you’re going to try to appear informed, at least site reputable sources.

Maybe I showed you these so that you could at least have it on your RADAR and do further investigation on your own, hopefully leading to actual scientific literature and not just summaries written by "journalists" who wasted their $$$ on a "college" "education".
I personally only respect sources with reproducible results, preferably as a result of the Scientific Method. The antidote to everything is critical thinking.
