See what you get for letting Biden get away with his #MaskHole bull**** on federal land and in federal buildings — which he, Fauci and his Press Secretary violated within hours, and his excuse was that he was “celebrating”? Oh, and demanding a Covid-19 test before boarding an international air flight to the US?
Guess what — now he’s talking about forcing a Covid-19 test on anyone taking a domestic air flight.
May I remind you that ten million US jobs are driven by domestic passenger air travel?
Many domestic tickets have prices that are less than the cost of a Covid test; this means such a requirement would double or more the ticket price. Further, if you test positive on the other end away from home you’re now stranded at your own expense. There has never been a documented situation where airlines have been a material spread vector even without mask mandates, which are now in place. Indeed the airflow (top to bottom, filtration and air source — bleed air from outside that is typically around -40F to start with, then is compressed in the engine and gets damn hot, killing anything that might have been in it) keeps “things” away from you that others may expel and gets them out of the environment rapidly.
