Religion is stupid. Religion Kills

[Icarus]

Ajax, you sound like an idiot every time you speak of lockdowns. There have been no LOCK DOWNS anywhere. There are no proposed LOCK DOWNS either. You're just a mindless rube who is too busy relaying stupid crap you read from Right Wing propaganda land.

I don't know why Xanax is so constipated over this issue. It's almost as if he doesn't follow the news, the real news, nor does he click on links and reads the information. Had he done so on page one none of what he posted would've been posted because he'd know the Supreme Court ruled in his favor, with Justice ACB casting the deciding vote. Every_single_time tweedle dee and tweedle idiot post they out themselves as unread, uninformed, and totally devoted to their information bubbles which are equally ignorant. It's, well, the blind leading the blind. And they fuckin' love it. They love their ignorance. They revel in it.

Are you ok getting on plane but not going to Church?

I guess the law seems to be ok with it. I think a big part of this is that most people think religious fellowship is useless but people gotta fly.

I would not choose to travel anywhere by plane during the Pandemic either, but recent experiments have shown that the cabin air in commercial airliners is recirculated and filtered so efficiently and rapidly that even sitting in a plane with other passengers is probably safer than sitting in a crowded church. The airline terminals and lounges apparently pose a significantly greater risk of transmitting coronavirus than sitting for hours in the airplane with other passengers.

Many airlines are limiting the number of seats for sale on their flights, which allows for seat spacing between individuals not traveling together. Using his mathematics and statistics knowledge, Barnett set out to estimate the risks.

“I thought, well, what is the risk level if you fill the plane? What is the risk level if you keep the middle seat open but otherwise fill the plane, and how big is the difference?” Barnett said. “Instead of just saying it’s safe or it’s not, can we put a number on it? And that’s what I tried to do.”

In a pre-print that has not yet been peer reviewed, Barnett estimated that if all seats are full, the chance that you would contract the novel coronavirus is about 1 in 4,300.

If the middle seat is kept empty, but the plane is two-thirds full with window and aisle seats, the odds drop to about 1 in 7,700.

More study is needed, though, to firm up the correct odds of catching the virus while flying.
