You both make good points. I would be interested in knowing some examples of "valid" medical conditions for not wearing a mask.. As for the service animals, other than allergies how could they adversely affect other passengers? As for as exemptions for wearing mask I would want a doctor's note. I would also want the airline to run a test for coronavirus. People allergic to an animal could be moved as far as possible from the animal or the animal could be moved. I don't think moving a person without a mask would work unless the plane was lightly loaded and they could be moved much more than the 6 foot minimum. I also realize the air circulation system of the aircraft plays a role in this. I think we need to have Solomon make a judgement on this one.
I guess I am "incompetent" since I am not sure what provoked the comment. I did find articles about this topic: "There’s only one type of UV that can reliably inactivate Covid-19 – and it’s extremely dangerous" - https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200327-can-you-kill-coronavirus-with-uv-light. I confess I overlooked the fact that it was uvC being used. I also did not catch the fact that the light has a protective shield around the edge to prevent being seen. I also found this: https://sites.nationalacademies.org/BasedOnScience/covid-19-does-ultraviolet-light-kill-the-coronavirus/index.htm. It is from April, 2020 and it says, "PROBABLY. UV light has been shown to destroy other coronaviruses, so it will probably work on the novel coronavirus...". I also reviewed past comments from Jim Myers and don't know whether this is just his pattern or whether there is some inside joke that I am missing. I guess I will crawl under a rock now and start studying.
Great comment, Jeff. How many CEOs and other top echelon executives have declined their bonuses for this year in order to provide some funds to keep their company going? Likewise, how many small businesses that were not hurting still applied for the low cost loans?
