Growing evidence covid 19 can be transmitted on flights

[MEL_Traveller]

The US CDC has released three reports which seem to confirm, or mark as 'highly probable' that mass infections have occurred on commercial flights:

Transmission of SARS-CoV 2 During Long-Haul Flight

Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 During Long Flight

​

Asymptomatic Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 on Evacuation Flight

We conducted a cohort study in a controlled environment to measure asymptomatic transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 on a f...

The trouble with those reports is that the CDC seems to becoming more and more unreliable - either through political interference or incompetence - by the minute.

On Friday they released a report "acknowledging that fine particles floating in the air may spread the virus". Then on Monday they say that it was released in error.

Advice on Airborne Virus Transmission Vanishes From C.D.C. Website (Published 2020)

The new guidance, published only on Friday, had acknowledged that fine particles floating in air may spread the virus.

Of course it can be transmitted. Everything is possible. I could catch chlamydia on a plane. It all depends on what one does and what preventative measures are taken.

Article 3 TL;DR: A transmission occured, very likely it was a couple in J that contaminated two staff.

Article 2 TL;DR: Very likely a transmission occured, one person was contaminated by one of the 6 asymptomatic, it probably occured while going to the bathroom.

Too tired to read article 1 tonight. I am not particularly alarmed by the fact reported in article 2 and 3 though.

Article 1 was possibly the most significant. 1 pax likely infected 12 others.

So we have so far 15 people who may have been infected during a flight.That even with the reduction in passenger numbers makes it very uncommon.Many more have been infected in their own homes.
