The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

My mom said it was good they got the guy off the plane because you never know, he could have a gun. But I trust airport security. I think his only weapon was a full bladder.

Golden, even.
Say, who does that remind you of?

I've had one flight make an emergency landing for a medical emergency. Seemed like heart. Landed in Shannon on the way to London.

Had a flight where a passenger died. I was seated close enough to that passenger that a bunch of us were asked to move elsewhere so make space for a couple of (folks who seem to be) doctors and the flight crew to try to resuscitate that passenger.
It was a trans-Pacific flight and we were already far enough from land that there was no nearby airport for the plane to land quickly. IIRC, the doctors called the death within a couple of hours. The flight ended not being diverted and we reached the destination more or less on time.
Of course, the disembarkation took extra time because the police, medical personnel, and various airport and airline officials had to first take the body out of the plane.
Looking back, I'm not sure how many of the other passengers knew what happened exactly. They may have seen police and medical personnel coming in and took a passenger out, but not sure if they could have seen enough to know that some one actually died on the plane. If I was not seated that close to the diseased, I might not have known that there has been a fatality.

The complete abandonment of any pretense of distancing begins at the line to check your boarding pass, and doesn’t end till you step into your destination airport.
Education is extremely important.

That reminded me of the story of some CEO who got really drunk on a flight to or from Brazil(?) and when the stopped giving him drinks, he got mad and pooped on the serving cart.
They charged him for the cleaning of the plane which was something like USD $50,000. I think he also got fired.

It all seems like one thing, but the entity that controls the airport is not the airlines. They are capable of maintaining a safer environment than the airlines can and I’m not surprised they do so.

Yes of course the airport can do zero cost social distancing while the airlines cannot. The contrast remains absurd even in light of the obvious economic motives.

I am aware that zero cost distancing measures employed by businesses are of some positive epidemiological value. I am also aware that if that stuff starts costing business, it gets more interesting making a distinction between signal vs non signal.
