Silly study. You put that many people close together, there is going to be more viruses spread. I really don’t think testing the levels of bacteria proves otherwise.

The low humidity environment will keep some things down. Not so much airborne virus though.

Right - that’s why virtually every time I fly, I end up with a cold or the flu.

An analysis of the data showed some interesting trends that could be used to predict how disease organisms would move through an aircraft in the event of an emergency.

O gosh - that seems so useful.... /s

Note: My niece was told not to take a trans-Atlantic flight with her baby until he was at least 6 months old because of the chance of viral infections which often caused hospital stays. I am slightly skeptical of this study. Who paid for it?

We tend to get sick after returning home when we have been on a long flight.
