- The airline confirmed to ABC News that the man was their medical protocol supervisor who was purposefully not wearing protective gear.
"Our medical professionals in the biohazard suits have limited vision and mobility and it is the protocol supervisor’s job to watch each person carefully and give them verbal directions to insure no close contact protocols are violated," a spokesperson from Phoenix Air told ABC News said.
"There is absolutely no problem with this and in fact insures an even higher level of safety for all involved," the spokesperson said.
Yeah, fuck that. He could have worn a lot more while keeping his vision and mobility, and he could have been rinsed afterwards.
Likeliness of airborne transmission aside, it's always nice to have a few canaries. Edit: That was semi-sarcasm, I don't have total disregard for human life. Unless you catch me before coffee.
Another possible canary on an Air France flight developed fever and tremors after stopping in Paris from Nigeria. Not good if that's another case.
