What are the chances of catching COVID on a flight?

Quote

 

Arnold Barnett, a professor of management science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), says the odds are about 1 in 4,300 on a two-hour flight filled to capacity, and drop to 1 in 7,700 when a flight keeps all middle seats vacant.

Barnett published his findings in a not-yet-peer-reviewed article in which he used his background in mathematics and statistics to estimate the risks involved in stepping on an airplane in the coming months.

“Wearing a mask is a simple and easy way to reduce the spread of COVID-19,” senior author Eric Westman says in a university statement. “About half of infections are from people who don’t show symptoms, and often don’t know they’re infected. They can unknowingly spread the virus when the cough, sneeze and just talk.”

Westman adds that 99 percent of infectious droplets can be stopped before reaching another person if everyone wears a functioning face mask.

“In the absence of a vaccine or antiviral medicine, it’s the one proven way to protect others as well as yourself,” he says.

Dan Forest is going all around NC campaigning. Not a mask in sight. He was in my hometown today. The local state senator was posting the pics. I'd say it would be hilarious if he got the rona except for the high likelihood that he would be a super spreader.

Sue Myrick’s son. fug both of them sideways.

It was a Duke study though. Why would they close from a study. Are you saying it is wrong, or have a rebuttal? 

Yes, it is wrong. Perhaps the writer misquoted them, but there is zero ways a fabric over your face is worse than no fabric. My issue is with that one sentence. Thus why I quoted it.
