Why can airplane travel expose you to a high concentration of germs if airlines say the area is cleansed with filters and the plane is cleaned regularly ?
In: Biology
Even the best filters in the world can’t protect you from the guy with the flu 3 feet away, because a lot of the air (and thus germs) he’s breathing out is going strait to you without passing through a filter first. Additionally, while if you were to pass Mr. Sick on the street or in a building you wouldn’t actually be at much risk for contraction, sitting near him in an airplane for hours is a whole different story. The only way to actually protect everyone from the spread of germs would be to make each passenger sit in their own little bubble, but realistically no one would agree to that.
