10 tips for not getting virus on the plane

[frbnsn]

Airports and planes are where the flu, flu or coronavirus-like microbes can be most intense.

This information has also been scientifically confirmed, showing that a plane flight can only increase the chances of catching a cold virus by up to 25 percent in one study. In short, there are some details that those traveling by plane need to know these days when the virus is already boiling. I tried to summarize some of those details below. Here are the top 10 of those measures ...

1- Try to sit by the window, not in the hallway.
2- Stay away from the seats near toilets.
3- Choose the front seats, not the back.
4- If someone is coughing, sneezing, sneezing, ask them to wear a mask.
5- Carefully clean the arms of the seat you are sitting on and the service tray in front of it with a disinfectant tissue.
6- Make the blower ventilation button on your seat work.
7- Know that wearing a hygienic “mask” will also provide you with important protection.
8- While traveling, take care not to touch your mouth, nose and clean.
9- Avoid mistakes (alcohol, insomnia) that can reduce your immunity on long trips.
10- Strengthen your immunity before travel: Chewable probiotic tablets / pellorgonium, black elderberry and echinacea extracts, propolis sprays and drops, N acetyl cysteine tablets, vitamin D drops ...

Tip 11 - Now explain to the air stewardess that you are not really neurotic and that you really are OK to fly this morning and that yes you do promise not to bother any more of the other passengers.....

How not to get virus on the plane? I was thinking something like slathering it with hand sanitizer.

 

[Altfish]

Don't fly

 

[exchemist]

Don't fly

Yes.

Seriously, if you do have to fly, the main issues are getting dehydrated, which dries out mucous membranes and lowers resistance - and getting short of sleep on long-haul. Drink plenty of water - which may mean you DO want an aisle seat, of course.

(This reminds me of how glad I am to have retired and how pleased I am not to have to fly around any more.)

Tip 12 - Try to avoid licking fellow passengers. In situations where this cannot be avoided, try to restrict all licking to elbows, shoulders, knees or hair.

6- Make the blower ventilation button on your seat work.

Isn't the air recirculated, such that when doing so one is therefore inhaling a mix of everyone onboard? Trust their filters?

I make a point of turning it OFF, to avoid the draught. But it may be fresh air, from a bleed off an engine compressor, I think - perhaps someone can confirm.

Well I haven't travelled by air for some time and perhaps my fears are not grounded:

Things You Didn't Know About In-flight Air Quality
Airplane air: not as bad as you think

I take Cold-FX and zinc lozenges the day of and at least one day after the flight.

Interesting link. Tends to confirm my suspicion that it is dried our mucous membranes that are the chief culprit. Plus of course the fact that you are often exposed to a wider variety of viruses, many of them different from those you have developed immunity to at home.

A Chinese lady got onto a plane by using medication
to suppress symptoms. then bragged about it on social media.

And just how do you plan to get to China without flying?????

 

[Mock Turtle]

Slow boat of course.

 

[Audie]

Slow boat of course.

You may not want to come here right now anyway.
Things are a bit chaotic. But by the time your tramp
steamer arrives, it may all be back to normal.

Don't fly

Your perfectly accurate advice as posted in the thread '10 tips for not getting virus on the plane'.

7 weeks later your advice is proved to be exactly right.
There just are no more flights around here , for various reasons, but certainly your advice fitted the thread title.

Usually the dawn sky over North Kent is streaked with scores of vapour trails. We have clear skies now.

Indeed. We're a little off to the side of the main approach to LHR and expect a plane every 90secs, unless the wind is in the East. Now, we see one every half hour or so.

A lot of airlines will go bust. I can't help thinking all this may change habits and perhaps we will not, after all, get this infernal 3rd runway!

The third runway is surely dead and buried.
Greta will be delighted, but maybe we all should be.
Boris wanted a Thames Estuary airport, and we might just get such a place if it is incorporated in to a huge barrier wall, with tidal generators and a road from Kent to Essex.
