I understand that. Again, I'm not arguing that air travel is currently totally safe (or safe, period), just that it poses much less of a risk than non-distanced choir practice in a badly ventilated/unfiltered space, or other events/places linked to large outbreaks.
We're constantly rolling the dice here, even when covered in full PPE. You can't avoid that. What you can do is trying to determine what kind of dice you're rolling, which requires information rather than alarmist comparisons that aren't based in evidence (referring to MEAT's initial reaction to Lightroom's concerns here, not anything you wrote).

>It's more contagious. Takes less exposure to have an impact...

I thought this was due to our immune systems being ill equipped to deal with this novel virus, not because it sticks around for longer outside the body or is harder to kill/filter out. Can you link a source?
