    I've heard that planes are actually good for not catching covid because they are constantly getting fresh sources of air but maybe that's bullshit idk. Of course they also can transport people who were already sick before getting on the plane to other places anyway.

      I don't actually know. I assume it's all the same air, since it's a pressurized cabin?

      When an old man behind me on a flight shit his pants I smelled it the remainder of the flight. Covid is better at remaining airborne than shit so I would have to assume that’s BS

      They probably already have HEPA filters, but you are provided with an air nozzle that blows your(and everyone else's) germs around.

      Before you're in the air there is effectively no ventilation. I've seen people post photos of CO2 levels of over 4000ppm. Once you're flying it's fine I guess but it probably only takes one boarding period to get an infectious dose.
