Is that so? Before you pass any judgment, may I ask, whether UA has asked its passengers if they have any symptoms before boarding?
If affirmative, then you can pass judgment.

The deceased was an adult. I hardly can see the widow would be prosecuted, unless the widow got it as well. While I am inclined to agree with the ban, the issue was the widow may not have done something wrong, especially if UA has never asked about their health conditions.
I respect everyone's right to be pissed. But keep in mind - the wronged party was the deceased, not the widow (unless she had COVID-19 as well). FWIW - I am not saying the deceased deserved to die. But should he choose not to fly, he might be still alive. I would say he has met his destiny for making poor choices.
