I think it's literally against the law, from common-law assault to a federal terrorism laws. The woman was basically saying to your Mom, "If I cough on you you'll die!"

Some douche-bag threatened the police in the UK and they buried his face in concrete so hard he could see Australia.

Remember airlines don't care, they look civilized with social distancing in the terminals, but it's the Wild West in the air. Can the co-pilot social distance from the pilot and other cabin crew? What happens if there's an emergency and they need oxygen masks?

They're main focus is getting as many people as possible inside their flying Petri Dish metal tubes.

WHO: Live animal markets shouldn’t close despite likely role in spreading virus

▪ https://www.timesofisrael.com/who-li...reading-virus/

In a press briefing, WHO food safety and animal diseases expert Peter Ben Embarek said live animal markets are critical to providing food and livelihoods for millions of people globally and that authorities should focus on improving them rather than outlawing them — even though they can sometimes spark epidemics in humans.

Ok, but do it in a healthy and sane environment, safe for the humans who feed and consume.
...Like they do in North America for example in meat packing factories...beef, pork, chicken, etc.
Saving lives is great in the world; food for the hungry, healthy food...virus-fred food.
It's a delicate balance ... WHO knows best.

Packed United flight leaves passengers 'scared,' 'shocked' amid fears of the coronavirus

I think airlines should give full refunds instead of travel vouchers, can't imagine enough will change in 1 year that most people would feel safe flying. As to the photo above, that's exactly why I wouldn't fly right now.

Planes are the worst environment to contact Coronavirus. And people are sitting six inches of each other even touching shoulders (larger folks)! ...Class action lawsuits?

There is NOTHING that would get me on an airplane right now.

What if that was how you meet your future wife?

[Monterey Jack]

I will never be married. I will never have sex. I will never kiss a girl. The world ended before I could do any of that.

God, I just hate the phrase "social distancing"

[Batman1980]

Face masks are now compulsory on the Paris metro system and commuters will need certificates from their employers to explain why they are traveling in rush hour. Those who don't risk being fined 135 euros ($145) https://www.cnn.com/webview/world/li...ad2a26fd8f688b

Planes are the worst. Even before the CV19. They’re flying Petri dishes. I can’t tell you how many tines I boarded a plane feeling great. Only to get to my destination and later find I now have a cough. They’re simply flying tubes of bacterial and viral stew.🥣

I’m really getting fed up with “new normal”.

[Batman1980]

Yeah new normal makes no sense because we don't have the first clue what the world will look like once this virus settles in.

People forget - 2 months ago, the country was functioning. Two months ago today was my last day but I would look at March 13th as the day the shit hit the fan, at least here in NYC.

[Batman1980]

I heard the NY totals are worse than initially reported, guess we'll see what Cuomo says about it.
