“Did you see the paragraph, in that DM a/c article you posted, about the airline companies’ ‘assurances’, regarding their air system??”
I saw it - they said they have filters. No doubt that cruise ships and hospitals do too. Of course the filters they’re talking about are about as effective as “Please do not Enter” signs on an otherwise unguarded section of our Southern Border.
I was HOPING to see the airline say that NONE of their air is recycled, but then that would add to fuel burning, and we don’t want to do that. Right Greta?

Airlines have already sought to reassure passengers that their air-conditioning systems are fit to prevent the coronavirus spreading in the cabin, with Etihad suggesting their system is as watertight as a hospital operating theatre.
‘In any confined area, there is a risk of contracting illnesses from other people,’ an airline statement reads.
‘However, the risk is considered lower on aircraft because of the use of high efficiency particulate air filters, which are effective in capturing more than 99 per cent of airborne microbes in filtered air.’
