Default Have you had Covid?

maybe asymptomatic as Zizu says although I still do the odd test now and again, I had a cough earlier this week and did a test and nada

An aircraft engineer pal of mine told me that you’re actually unlikely to catch it on a commercial plane because of the way the airflow and cabin pressure works… basically there’s a constant “flow” of fresh air through the plane so you’re never in that sort of… “soup”… of infected air even if someone sat nearby has Covid. There’s no buildup of Covid particles in the air so you’re less likely to get a high enough viral dose to catch it.

Interesting stuff. He put diagrams on Facebook and all sorts.
