A flight from Greece to Wales carrying “selfish ‘covidiots’ and an inept crew” has led to at least 16 passengers testing positive for COVID-19 and nearly 200 people in two weeks of self-isolation, according to reports.

The German-based TUI flight — which took off Aug. 25 from the island of Zante to Cardiff with 193 passengers and seven crew members — was a “debacle” and a “free-for-all,” passengers told the BBC.

Health authorities said seven people from three different parties are believed to have already been potentially infectious aboard the plane, according to the news outlet.

The British press has been using the word for a while now. Often it’s used to describe people who refuse to kiss government ***.

How many of those “covidiots” (what a lame term) even had symptoms?

So 7 of the 16 confirmed are “potentially infectious”.

What the heck does that even mean?

Yaron Steinbuch? That’s an interesting name. I wonder if he or she is familiar with propaganda.

If that timeline is accurate, this is just a whole lot of speculation. Reads to me like nobody who got on that plane got on while a confirmed positive. So infectiousness is just a guess.

As long as they keep recirculating air on aircraft, we’ll have these. Same with cruise ships.

193 people and 16 “positive” tests, eh?

Meanwhile 425,000 bikers rallied in Sturgis, SD for 10 days of partying without masks or social distancing.

The Covid19 incubation period is LONG past and, despite a virtual nationwide manhunt, the media has only been able to unearth about 100 participants who ended up with a positive test...which may or may not mean they have an active virus.

Thus, the maximum infection rate at Sturgis could only have been about 0.002%

Didn’t know this, did you?

And I’m sure they had death-like symptoms, blood shooting out of their eyes and projectile vomit, right? We’re all gonna die.

“covidiots? That is a new one”

It’s a technical term referring to Fauci and the state governors who lock down their states against all reason and science.
