Inside Airports and Airliners is a exceptionally well suited environment for the transmission of Viruses and all other contact related sicknesses.
Wear a mask, wash wash wash your hands keep your hands to yourself and your coughs and sneezes contained.
We keep anti bacterial masks and gloves, glasses and wipes with us at all times while traveling and we use them, to protect you as well as us.
It is the right thing to do.
My first ever Airline flights were 20+ HR. international flights involving multiple Airports and Airliners, That was when the iconic 747-400 was still a main stay for the Delta fleet.
I loved the Aircraft thought it was sexy and graceful from the outside and powerful and comfortable on the inside, it took me back and forth to exciting places in comfort and safety.
It seemed that as my travel experiences increased and the accumulated record of those experiences came to a statistical fact.
That Respiratory Illnesses were undeniably not just coincidentally tied to my Air travel.
After predicting the need and even planning a respite, for when we arrived at our next vacation spot. Sure enough there it was, the sneeze the fever the developing cough.
Bella and I at that time, locked up in the motel room, while at a ocean side vacation spot. Coined the personal to us, identifying term the 747 flu.
We have since Implemented precautionary measures to all of our travel activities, To avoid the punishing effects of respiratory illnesses. And to some degree it has seemingly for the most part worked.
I am feeling that you can not be to diligent when it comes to protecting yourself.
When you will be potentially exposed to illness in such crowded, recirculated, stressful environments as Airports, Airliners, Cruise ports and Cruise ships, public transportation, shuttles, Taxis, motels anywhere others are or have been.
Recently I dropped my guard thinking a quick 1 hr. domestic flight would not be a big deal. But sure enough the sound of other passengers sniffling and sneezing I hear a cough!
Oh no I tried my best keeping my hands to myself using hand sanitizer and a handkerchief to cover my nose and mouth.
To no avail, two days latter I come down with a cold probably a common rhino virus.
I lived thought it again, “But never again will I go unprotected” I am writing this hoping to ALERT others of the possibility of protecting yourself or stopping the spread to others.
Thanks for reading and enjoy your Flight.
