So much signaling and so little reality to our social distancing precautions for air travel. At least the masking precautions appear legit.

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 guess my point is it doesn’t follow that it’s just virtue signaling even though it looks somewhat silly when you consider what’s waiting for you on the other side of the jetway.

Less exposure is better even if you can't maintain it. There are a lot of diseased bastards people in the terminal that are not on your flight.

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.
