Most will recover and that is fact because were that not the case then the death rate would be in the hundreds of thousands in UK alone by now. The projected mortality rate is circa 1% or less of those infected.
As of yesterday it is 20k and will continue to rise but UK own statistics have shown that in winter 2014/15 there were 28,330 deaths from flu. People who tested and shown to have Covid-19 who then die are recorded as having died of it even though it has been highlighted that a significant majority have severe underlying medical conitions and dying anyway. In addition people who die and not been tested are excluded from the statistics even though they may have died from Covid-19. On that basis the stats have a great deal of unreliability as have been highlighted numerous time in the last month by the media.
WHO estimates that between 270,000 and 650,000 died each year from influenza and have caution with that figure as many people who caught it are not reported as dying from it where there were underlying conditions.

If you want to be difficult there exists a selfdisinfecting cloth for masks, made in Israel, that uses copperpowder from a norwegian factory, that kills the virus.
But I'm sure there could be found cheaper and easier solutions. I'm thinking wipe down vinyl or quick change and boilwash. Unless one thinks the world now only consists of problems and for anything to work in the future it has to be like before.
What is better; a thorough clean between flights or max 2/3 capacity, or even less if one in addition to midle seat starts with leaving rows free also.
The ones that adapts will be the future winners, like always. Are you ahead of the game you even get to design the solution. I remember Ryanair engineering used to have a sewing unit for seat repairs, that probably could put togheter a sample.
Viruses by their nature change all the time and will continue to do so. Catching the virus and allowing the body deal with it has been the most effective way for thousands of years. It will continue to be the way going forward and no end of expensive solutions will change it.
