Our young military men and women have to fly on commercial flights when going to and from furlough.

All the pilots, flight engineers, flight attendants, baggage handlers, gate workers, etc. have to be on board the planes and in their ground positions.

The airport janitorial staff have to handle and breathe near soiled Kleenex, paper towels, soiled menstrual pads, etc., and so do the garbage collectors and haulers.

The TSA have to touch and breathe next to sweaty people and their belongings just gripped by people wiping their runny noses with their hands or who are emptying their pockets of their soiled handkerchiefs or tissues.

The nurses, technicians, doctors, firemen, and paramedics have to be on duty on the front line where infected people come first when they're vomiting, have diahrrea, etc.

The hospital housekeeping and laundry staff have to be in place to change soiled bed linens, haul the bins to the laundry, empty the bins and do the laundry.

Cafeteria workers have to handle napkins people spit into and blow their noses on.

Etc etc etc etc etc

I believe I just read this morning that those who were quarantined because they were on the same flight as one who had Ebola, were all cleared of having the disease. So flying is not dangerous. For those who don't have to fly, if they are fearful, don't fly!!
