Regarding Megan's claims, I've been saying this for two years, ever since I learned what the "95" in "N95" stands for. I was just too lazy to do the math! But the N95 wasn't made for, nor is it rated for, the prevention of the transmission of airborne viruses. Megan's numbers are actually conservative, because she's considering the N95 masks to be 95% effective at stopping the passage of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, when it is almost certain that it is, in practice, much less effective. The conservative numbers, however, are good enough to prove her point.

Concerning COVID-positive individuals sharing enclosed spaces, remember that asymptomatic transmission is unknown. So unless these "positive" individuals are symptomatic, they pose pretty much zero threat to anyone else on the aircraft.

You know what else poses pretty much zero threat to (almost) anyone? COVID-19. Unless you're 75+, or 55+ and have let yourself go (fat, no exercise, extra points for being a smoker).

I almost pity the people who still live their lives in fear over this virus. My wife's boss is one. My wife came to work with literally nothing more than some occasional sniffles and the boss said she shouldn't be in the office and should go home. It was a mild cold. 🤦‍♂️😂🤣 This woman has never had C19, so she fears it because it's an unknown (to her). I say "almost pity," because these people are making life difficult for the rest of us, and they're intentionally ignorant: the information is out there if only they would LOOK FOR IT. Steve's substack is a great starting point! Shame that she'll probably never see it.

COVID 19 is not to be sneezed at!

The COVID 19 cultists should be sent to Cold-itz. :)

There is a class of those within the ignorant who don't want the information. They won't be looking for it any time soon.
