At least 52 people from a single flight from Delhi to Hong Kong have tested positive for Covid-19, despite all passengers presenting a negative coronavirus test before boarding.

All of the passengers who tested positive flew into Hong Kong on a flight from India's capital, run by Indian airline Vistara on April 4.

Hong Kong as a whole has been recording fewer daily new infections than the total number detected on the flight, since it brought a fourth wave of infections under control in January.

In other words, this double mutation of COVID has escaped India and is going to reek havoc all over the world.

Aircraft are flying Petri tubes.

Assuming these tests aren’t bunk - this could only mean that the crew had the virus.

Maybe the tests are garbage?

[mewzilla]

Or the tests found viral debris. Which is non-infectious.

Meh. I just had work in South America.

My COVID test in that country consisted of walking into a room where a man in a brown uniform demanded $20, whereupon I left after payment.

In any case, I’m thinking this may be part of am ongoing attempt to destabilize India.

[Jim Noble]

Close the airports.

Do it now.

[gundog]

Maybe just a temperature check before boarding?

[House Atreides]

Som Tin Wong.

[Pollard]

That would be my suspicion. Either the pre-flight tests or the post flight tests

[Grampa Dave]

Maybe Covid testing is about as accurate as a Democrat President or Governor is honest.

Or just don’t fly and stay home if you feel you’re as risk.

And let the rest of us get on with life.

[norwaypinesavage]

I would ask for a second test FROM ANOTHER SOURCE

[JayGalt]

LOL

[mewzilla]

Flew into Hong Kong....

Cui bono from sticking it to India, eh?

[usurper]

Maybe the tests are garbage?

BINGO They have been from the start just the the covid death numbers. All bunk.

Just got off my first plane in a year. I noticed every female within my vision range had her mask adjusted such just a wee bit of her nostril was exposed. I don’t blame them, and don’t care, but I did notice it was females and none of the males doing this. I bet half of them would have karened out on any male not wearing a mask

is going to reek havoc all over the world

If the airports in India and Pakistan remain open, then yes.
