> Riddle me this, what would a commie chinaman do if a bioweapon accident was decimating their military ?

Spread it to all of their neighoring countries as soon as possible, to reduce their handicap?

“My guess is Jet Lag is actually your body fighting off all the virus exposure.”

Plus the dried out air with lower humidity than the Sahara for hours.

“Jet airliners are now the biggest carriers/vectors in transporting viruses and bacteria from point A to point Z and everything in between”

"Yep they are an air recycler virus incubator. My sister is a Delta flight attendant with LA to DC flights twice a week. I’m ALMOST glad she is on medical leave for a few months with this crap going around. Between this virus and the hazardous waste uniforms loaded with heavy medals that Delta bought via Lands End (made in China) she can’t catch a break. This uniforms can’t be ruled out as the cause of her Cancer, she is one of many."

Prayers up for your sister.

Decades ago, I was 29 and in great health. I got promoted and part of my new job was to fly from the east coast to the west coast and back a few times each month.

At first I could fly first class on 747's, and the jet lag was minimal after I learned to never drink alcohol while flying in a plane and o coffee or tea, just bottled water and a lot. The planes were so dry that I could drink 6-8 bottles of water and maybe pee once a trip, even on first class.

Then, the company went on an economy rage, and no first class flying for the peons, us.

Besides the narrow cramped seats, the air seemed to be dryer and very stale compared to first class.

Then, the flights from the West coast in the cattle car brought on jet lag for me. I would fly back on Friday and was jet lagged until midweek of the next week.

I convinced my company to move me out to the west coast, and that worked until I had to fly back east to meetings.

“I can see that. But so too would be taxi cabs and Uber/Lyft cars.”

Absolutely, with the long half life this virus apparently has on even dry and hard surfaces.

Plus the big vans/big or small buses that take people to and from airports.

Wow. Very clever of you to suggest that. Now let’s see if their actions fit that scenario perfectly to a T. Lol. We even have the Chinese Prezzy now claiming they may have over reacted.

That dried out air allows viri to lift off the ventilation surface structures and travel into your lungs. They have to put in viral air filters or stop all flights, due to Corona and whatever else leaked out of that Chinese biomedical lab. I find just spraying lysol into the ventilation system at least wets down the dust and stuff on ventilation surfaces.

I find just spraying lysol into the ventilation system at least wets down the dust and stuff on ventilation surfaces.

If or while on a plane, do you spray the vents on the plane?

I stopped flying. They should do that between flights though. During cleanup at least.

What good is testing if there is a 14 day incubation period?

Depending on the test, that would be the only way to find a virus during incubation. Once symptoms present, finding diseases is pretty easy.
