I didn't intend to imply that flippant remarks are "fun" for pax. Obviously.
Only that exercising a degree of common sense in situations such as this might help things return to some sense of normality and make people more comfortable.
Overt paranoia over what could have been an almost innocuous remark (perhaps even trying to be helpful) just breeds more bad feeling and malaise.
Where do you draw the line here? It's not an easy question to answer. But a bit of common sense goes a long way.
