Germaphobe body slams woman who was coughing on his flight
Patrick White had a serious problem with the woman coughing on his American Airlines flight to Jacksonville International Airport in Florida. The man was apparently so afraid of getting sick that he became enraged during the flight, continually harassed and chastised (the woman) for coughing and spreading disease. He was arrested on charges of misdemeanor battery. (www.dailymail.co.uk) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The cabin air is NOT a closed system. The air flows through and IS NOT recirculated
I don't want to pop your bubble, but you should know that any jet aircraft the air you breath comes from outside air and passes through the engine compressor section where it is drawn off and cooled with bypass air (compressed air from the compressor section is pretty hot, over 400 C where it is cooled, and then passes through various stages and into the cabin. It then exits the cabin in a controlled manner through outflow valves which regulate the cabin pressure so you can have nice (but dry) fresh air at a nice temperature (outside temp at jet altitudes can go to - 70 C) and is pressurized to maintain around a 6000 foot cabin in most jets. The system is NOT a closed one. If you have a look at a generic jet aircraft cabin air system you would find that the air in the cabin is cycled through about every 6 to 8 minutes.
While I can sympathize with anyone concerned for their personal health while entombed in the proverbial pressurized tube whilst there are pax among them who make little or no effort to minimize their spread of airborne respiratory infections, the ones I really feel for are the aircrew who must endure hours and hours of it during their typical duty period and smile while doing it. I lost count a long time ago of the many times I caught some upper respiratory infection from either a fellow cockpit crewmember or presumably a pax in the back with the enclosed pressurized circulation bringing their exhalations forward. Those litle bugs drift happily along until they find another culture dish in which to settle, multiply and overpower the natural immunity.
It was always a standing joke back in the day that segregating the smokers was done to keep the non-smokers free of their exhalations which thankfully is what finally led to the ban on inflight smoking. That is one time that secondary smoke inhalation could be shown empirically to contribute to respiratory problems after enduring it for years. The same is true of the infectious respiratory exhalations of people today in an enclosed pressurized airplane tube. A mask is about the only true protection option there is but then making the cabin look like a hospital ward is probably not going to be conducive to an uptick in sales and marketing.

You are such an IDIOT. Why was the baby stupid? The poor baby was hurting and all you could think of is yourself
Colds and flu are mostly traced to a Vitamin D deficiency. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/51913.php
Having said that, I do get pretty annoyed with people that don't cover.
