Test results in 2-3 days?

"The flight took place Monday and the passengers — who are all Troy residents in their 20s — began feeling sick the next day, the Rensselaer Health Department said."

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.

- 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.

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.
