The portrayal of this aviation risk in the media is inflated much like others. Virus hitting passengers! What a story! Although the possibility exists, there are very few confirmed incidences of passengers being infected. Statistically there are much larger risks such as long-term radiation damage or short-term memory loss, particularly on long haul. All seems a bit overemphasised...
