Probably for the reason it’s being talked about here. Disney makes the national news quite often and people would be interested to know if someone got COVID at WDW and then died from it on the flight back home.
Except we can’t even agree on what “actual” is...
Got it. I’ll also need more than people on a Disney forum telling me that Disney is safer than most other places before I believe it. So....
All the people I've seen die from Covid have been on ventilators and it's usually a lengthy progression to that point. It's possible a person could die on a plane from cardiac arrest, stroke, pulmonary embolism or something else and could also have Covid, but to say that the person dropped dead from Covid and Disney is to blame is a bit of a stretch.
Well... technically covid doesn’t kill anyone correct? It’s just the effects of covid?
Well technically you could say that every person dies of cardiac arrest in the end. Yes I believe people die from Covid I see it everyday, but do I think someone could walk onto a plane and then drop dead from just Covid...NO.
Oh I agree. I don’t think a crowded theme park is the place to be right now no matter how many protocols they follow. I’m sure not going until after the vaccine is widely distributed.
Same here. We are booked for late June/early July trip. We should all be vaccinated by then.
I don't get this. I know the temperature test is mostly window dressing but for him to die on the flight I am shocked he didn't have a temperature. If United doesn't take temperatures I will not fly them again, even though I usually fly Jet Blue.For those looking for an actual news report...not just a fake Twitter story:
United: CDC looks into death of man on flight from Florida
United Airlines has given information about other passengers to federal health officials after a man who possibly had coronavirus-like symptoms died shortly after being on a flight, the airline said Friday.

I thought Frontier was the only airline doing temp screenings. I could be wrong. The guy could just pop a Tylenol an hour before boarding and the temp screen is beaten.

I still don't get it. When I first felt sick on November 3, I isolated myself. I wanted to protect my wife and others. I called to find out where to get tested safely so I wouldn't infect anyone. I then isolated for 3 weeks, even though I was no longer having any symptoms after 11 days after symptoms started. I tested probable on November 24, so I continued to isolate for another 3 weeks and got tested on December 16 and was negative. I would never put anyone else at risk and find it hard to believe anyone would be as selfish as this couple was. The wife should be prosecuted for allowing her husband on the plane with symptoms and United should be fined for not having better standards.I thought Frontier was the only airline doing temp screenings.

I wouldn’t do it either but I think maybe people panic. I don’t know if this is the case in this story but if you are far from home on vacation and you come down with Covid you don’t want to be stuck miles from friends, family and your doctors so maybe you risk trying to get home. How many people would honestly quarantine in a hotel room for weeks? This is one of the reasons I’d probably avoid traveling too far at this time. You could always rent a car and have someone drive you home, but Orlando to CA is a heck of a long drive. I am in no way saying what they did was justified, but I imagine a large percent of people might have tried the same thing if they got stuck that far from home.
Maybe if people weren't traveling in the first place.
Horrifying crowds.
