The filtration isn't the issue...filtration works....but you can't ignore the path that contaminated air takes before it's actually filtered and "cleaned". Unless folks on a plane are breathing directly into a filtration tube...then you gonna be breathing unfiltered/contaminated air. Full stop.

It's more contagious. Takes less exposure to have an impact... . Again...the issue is BEFORE you have a chance to clean it. Not talking about how it behaves once you get it....

I won't speak ill of MEAT...
Never question a man's reasoning though....
