Not only unvaxed passengers in separate areas, we should even go farther (within those separated areas) by sub-dividing groups based on religion, sexual identity, proof (or not) of childhood vaccines, odor, vegans vs meat eaters, alcoholics vs non-drinkers, political beliefs, annual salary (bring your bank statements and portfolios).....hopefully most will notice my sarcasm....but where does it stop. Agree! - But.. sadly there are many on this forum who think such horrible things about people (who are not actually sick) about taking a medication. A certain abhorrent political faction of the 1930's would be proud of the disdain being shown to "unclean" people. Some of those same people might be shocked to know that without a booster (or two - depending on where they are from/going) from their first two shots, that they are no longer considered as "vaccinated". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Drake Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 18 minutes ago, poskat said: not a surprising result considering that most of the participants likely fall into the old/fat/comorbidity group who are likely to die if they got infected. The troubling issue to me is that we have now had two years with Covid. And many, many of those people with comorbidities have had all that time to exercise, improve their diet, reduce weight, and make themselves more resilient. Few did so, apparently, as this poll indicates they would rather shoot up vaccines and segregate populations than take direct action to help themselves. If we're segregating, we just might be segregating the wrong group of people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no evidence of airborne disease spreading thru planes (especially covid) in any amount that is concerning. If you are that concerned maybe they should not fly at all. The full air circulation / exchange in a plane is something like 100% turn over in less than five minutes. You'd think it was Ebola. This is just propaganda... continuing to push the narrative.

Airplane Passengers At Least Twice As Likely To Catch Covid-19 Because Of Omicron, Airline Trade Body Says The omicron variant of the coronavirus raises the risk of infection on board a passenger plane by two or even three-fold, according to the airline industry’s biggest trade body, a finding that may foreshadow an exponential increase in cases as millions of travelers take to the skies to be with their families during the holiday season. https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2021/12/22/airplane-passengers-at-least-twice-as-likely-to-catch-covid-19-because-of-omicron-airline-trade-body-says/?sh=519125c5536b From you own Forbes article lol In an interview with Bloomberg, the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) medical adviser David Powell claimed that the risk of transmission on board a plane remains much lower than crowded places on the ground due to the use of hospital-grade air filters. https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2021/12/22/airplane-passengers-at-least-twice-as-likely-to-catch-covid-19-because-of-omicron-airline-trade-body-says/?sh=26223f8a536b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thairookie Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) The media is trying to equate the unvaccinated with infected. But I like the idea that the unvaccinated should be allocated a different area - to protect them from the vaccinated who are still capable to transmitting the virus.

And you either didn't read, or chose to ignore, one of the cautions in even the old, out-of-date info you posted: "The study, which was released without peer review, did not take into account other ways that people could catch the virus on aircraft -- including from others coughing or breathing directly on them, from surfaces or from confined spaces such as restrooms." The HEPA air filtration systems on airplanes do little to nothing to protect you from an infected person who may be sitting next to you or in other close proximity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
