As a pilot you should be very worried about Covid 19 Infection. Early studies have found evidence that as high as 70% of infected individuals have recovered from the virus, but have been left with lasting damage to heart and lung tissue. How this will affect medicals in the future who knows. Asides from that, recovery rate is 98% recovered directly from Covid infection, this does not include lingering side effects from damage caused, just means you did not die directly from the virus. Some statistics to think of, Influenza killed 22,000 in the 2019-2020 US season, a big difference to the 500,000 deaths from Covid in one year. What this has to do with Virgin, I don't know, as it was stuffed well before Covid came along.
