3 people test positive for Covid-19 after taking Delta flight from Atlanta to Albany
 

As reported by CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/10/us/de...ers/index.html

Hopefully the health officials were able to work with DL to contact anyone on that flight to let them know they were potentially exposed.

"Delta is in contact with regional CDC officials and has provided a manifest of the flight"

Test results in 2-3 days? Albany TimesUnion

I sure hope they kept their masks on the whole flight...

Seems like the seat blocking worked very well...

An awful piece of reporting. The meaningful facts - were they traveling together, seated next to each other (how far) etc is missing... displaying symptoms next day after exposure seems uncommon - several days is more typical.

It's not a great headline. But although it does seem unlikely they contracted it *on* the flight, it's still true that
- they were on board
- they felt symptoms the next day
even though those two are probably not causally linked, there could still have been potential spread to other pax.

In the bulk of cases, symptoms are not felt the next day. In fact it normally takes 3-4 days.

CR9's don't have HEPA.

Ahh, yes. Another quality product of the Bombardier company...

They do on AA. I have to think DL has them.

American’s entire mainline fleet features HEPA filtration. In our American Eagle fleet, the Bombardier CRJ700 and CRJ900 and Embraer E175 aircraft feature HEPA filtration. There currently isn’t a government-approved HEPA solution for the Embraer E140 and E145 aircraft.

news.aa

And anyone who they came into contact with in either airport, and those they came into contact with travelling to and from the airport.

I landed in JFK and used the restroom, I must have been closer than 6 feet from lots of "anonymous" people, if I had COV-19 how would/could I contact them.:confused:

I think it's called a contact tracing app.
