Just another example of what much of society has become. Many are only concerned with themselves.

Just how did they board? They were screened!

Carried extra cash on the chance they might run into trouble they could slip it to someone and get home. Yeah, that could be it.

Or, they went tested at the airport and advised to report to a quarantine center but got onto the plane instead and no one noticed they weren't at the center until after the plane departed.

Or, perhaps there is more to the story that hasn't appeared in the papers yet.

I have traveled by plane this year and I plan to fly over Christmas. If I develop any cold or flu symptoms, I will not fly. I always wear a mask - that includes when I travel. Do I worry if I sit next to someone with COVID? No - because I am taking (and have been taking for decades) personal precautions - and (knock on wood) - I am not aware of any health issues I may be presently suffering from - I could exercise a lot more and drink more water - but, my weight is normal (because of **hard work and personal sacrifice ** on my own behalf) and I have only digested only 100% natural foods for decades - I don’t drink alcohol and have never smoked or kept myself in close proximity of anyone who is smoking. I have regular checkups and blood tests. I am far from perfect - but, I do not feel the least bit threatened by COVID. I think - I have mostly done - and I am doing (have been doing) the right things in life with respect to maintenance and care of the body I have been blessed with. You can shame others to your heart’s content for putting your health in jeopardy ..... but, look in the mirror - really, the only one that we can truly hold responsible for our health - is ourselves. I worry all the time of the poor decisions I made many, many years ago in my youth - will my past poor decisions eventually manifest into severe health complications? (If and when that happens - i only have myself to blame) .... I worry about any inherited health issues (but, if and when those manifest - I only have the genes I have inherited to blame) ..... but, I can’t blame and hold strangers accountable for whether I suffer complications from things like COVID. We tend to want to blame others for anything bad that happens to us. Sure - that may be true in some cases - but more often than not - in retrospect - if WE had done something different in our lives - the bad thing would not be a threat. Take care of the body that you have been blessed with - and keep in mind - if **YOU** can’t do what is best for your body ****— if *YOU* have not always done the 100% best thing for *YOUR* body - why do you think you have the right to demand others - total strangers - to do what is in the best interest of the health of your body?*****

Every time I have said that nothing surprises me anymore, it’s like FATE decides to prove me wrong. And somebody does something even more startling!

I hope you just didn’t tempt fate to prove you wrong. 😉

In my opinion your last sentence sums it all up pretty concisely. No one should ever base their current COVID result on just one test, most certainly if it was the rapid test.

hope they are banded for life on United

Please do more research before accusing someone of breaking the law.

May they both rest in peace and never fly that airline again.

I’m sorry some here are insisting you justify how you choose to live. I’m conflicted on whether that’s more pathetic or more disgusting.

[moe1212]

terribly irresponsible for anyone that is legitimately sick (of anything) to expose other people. However at their age they will not die and most likely wont even have any serious symptoms. I worry about the over 80 year old's or vulnerable immune systems, (who should be self quarantined), that may have been exposed. Now that I think about it, wouldn't make sense to have the vulnerable stay safe and let the majority of society go about their business?

[NY2TV]

When I flew to NY recently, I filled out a questionnaire that simply asked if I had been tested for Covid 19, but didn't ask if I tested negative. How absurd.

[moe1212]

Kind of reminds me of the amusement parks. I am sure we all are aware of the height requirement to get on the scary rides. If you are two small you cant ride, its too dangerous. If you are tall enough go for it ,your choice). I have never seen the entire amusement park shut down in order to protect the few.

I'll bet that nobody who flew with them on that plane will "die" from Covid. There is way too much "deadly hype" about Covid. We are becoming an emasculated society.
