Here's a tidbit from the WHO: The drop in HIV-related mortality is especially evident in the regions with the greatest burden of HIV infection, including the WHO African Region, home to over 61% of people dying from HIV-related causes in 2018. An estimated 470 000 [340 000−630 000] people died in the African Region from HIV-related causes in 2018, which indicates that mortality has dropped by almost 40% since 2010.
In other words, In Africa alone nearly half a million people died from HIV in one year, and that's a reduction. We're getting in a fluff now about Covid19 that by my estimate (depending on my mathematics) has only infected 0.0022% of the entire world population and killed 0.000083% of it?

I think the difference is HIV is transmitted if you get jiggy with someone else that has it. Most people don't get it on with everyone they walk past on the street or sit in an aircraft cabin with, so the transmission rate is negligible, certainly in terms of discussing COVID.

That's true; but the fact that it killed so many people in Africa alone and no one seems to give a rat's a*** compared to the social media and news storm regarding Covid makes me question these blanket lockdowns!

SOPs is making a valid point
So much for pre - testing and travelling is A-OK on Planes because of Air Filtering and spacing
Config for that day was 8/42/304 = 354 seats
Booked 3/14/74 + 4 infants = 95 pax

As I said above. I flew to EDDF on my repatriation flight. We were 95 Y class pax. All seated together in the front. I wasn't allowed to switch seats cause of the health declaration. So clearly check-in aren't doing their job. Also if people got infected on board the masks aren't helping either!!!

What about the QR and GA flts around the same time,
did the count go up with them to or just EK. Says a lot if only 1 EK flt has had positive pax but QR have had many no ??...The increasing numbers might not have from on the flt but afterwards of course-bad hotel ventilation,breaking the bubble, transportation not clean-could be many sources..

One more case from the flight today. 14 days in isolation may not be enough it seems.

Most things that cause upset to peoples lives in EK are not on the portal nor in the weekly newsletter nor in the pravda safar magazine.
