The leading medical adviser to a group representing nearly 300 airlines said in a new interview that aircraft passengers are two or three times more likely to be infected with COVID-19 on a flight since the emergence of the omicron variant.
"Whatever the risk was with delta, we would have to assume the risk would be two to three times greater with omicron, just as we’ve seen in other environments," Dr. David Powell, physician and medical adviser to the International Air Transport Association, told Bloomberg News.
He added that "it’s just that the relative risk has probably increased, just as the relative risk of going to the supermarket or catching a bus has increased with omicron."

fear porn since no one can actually measure,
with accurate discrimination, the variant.
TPTB are really pushing this fear porn
So if I fly I might get a cold. Oh the huge manatee.
“Doubled”
Double of what? “Whatever the risk was with delta”. OK, so what was the risk (per hour of plane travel, say) with Delta? The article doesn’t bother with such trivialities.
assume Such a scientific way of doing things. Not only assume but we have to assume.
They supposedly just discovered this ‘variant’, yet, it is now claimed to be the most prevalent in all cases. Total BS. Of course, the feeble minded gullible types will now go hide under their beds.
illegals are riding on those planes.
Stats? Of course not.
Study? Don’t even think about it.
Idiots? Well, it did come from a D.C. standard collection of journalism majors. But, they did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.
bidAn should now encourage EVERYBODY, vaxxed and the unwashed unvaxxed masses to fly.
Like the chicken-pox parties of old, everybody should get omi-god-cron, to acquire *REAL* herd immunity.
The only answer we have is more masking. Or vodka.
If everyone would just sterilize with vodka, we could beat this thing!
They are pretending to do lots and lots of genetic testing so that that can say with full assurance that Omicron is here, there, and everywhere. More BS. I say they are mostly doing the same old PCR testing and just declaring “Must be Omicron!”
Wow, Biden really doesn’t want people to get together over Christmas. You know, people at parties and gatherings could talk about their planschemic.
That said. all the sicko swamp thugs will wine and dine the holidays away!
Yep, they are. It is also a good excuse to keep crazy family members at home.
They just make crap up in the fly. ‘Experts say’.
When you pull numbers out of your arse, why worry about details?
And just like that the Delta Variant was gone!
Whatever the risk was with delta,
we would have to assume
has probably increased,
Flew with my unvaxxed mother to Florida (aka Delta Central) last July. Zero issues
Daughter and fiance are arriving tonight from Cali (aka Omicron He!!). Let’s see....what is three times zero?
Another hour, even more attempted, pathetic fear porn from the far left fake news media.
“Risk of infection has doubled” with Omicron huh?
To what end?
Just how many people have actually died from this fake Omicron? Just one death in the entire UK last time I looked.
