I CALL BS!! The likelihood of being infected by a COVID infectious passenger coughing in the seat next to you in a single-aisle airplane (no empty seat between you) is lower than if you sat/stood 6 feet apart in your office/home/shopping center (in both cases masks are worn).
A lot of the information here looks like it’s direct from airlines.
Obviously they have no benefit from touting the safety of air travel.
Right?

But cabins aren't the whole story. There's arguably more human interaction in the airport and terminals before the flight itself (check in, security, buy a coffee)
Quick search came up with this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2020/07/20... which has some more cautionary numbers.
