That's doubtless true mate, if they're infected, as they exhale, some virus will pass into the air you're breathing. There are no zero-risk options.
But the mitigation of the aircraft filtering, and the masks you're both wearing, almost certainly means it's safer to sit in the plane for two hours with probably 10 to 20 people in your immediate area, than it is to sit inside a pub with a similar number of people near you for a couple of hours.
I was in Welshpool yesterday and there was hardly a mask in sight (apart from the ones me and the missus had on) looks like it hasn't been made compulsory in Wales yet.

Errrr, no, it hasn’t. Just like there’s no cafes, bars & restaurants open for inside eating until Monday week. Llandudno absolutely heaving today, visitors all queuing for chips and then trying to eat them whilst fending off seagulls lol

All settings - 14 is the total, down 47 on yesterday and down 13 on last Sunday, bringing the 7 day rolling average back down slightly to 64.57 with the earlier hospital figure making that 7 day rolling average rise slightly to 14.57
I've been working palma for two months, I would have self isolated and tried to get a test when coming back to the UK anyway. But shocked people are outraged that this is expected of them, though the government has sent far too many mixed messages
I knew it was coming, but doesn’t make it less worrisome. Employee at my grandma’s nursing home tested positive
From what you said they seemed to be well managed - shutting down to visitors well before that was mandatory for instance. Hopefully that also means they have caught this early and none-one else has been infected. Are they doing any further testing?
They had just started weekly testing of employees and found this. No idea how long they could have been working asymptomatic. Contact tracing for now so no testing as of yet.
3 times a day symptom checks for residents and all employees are in full head to toe PPE w/face shield when in contact with residents.
And I hold my breath for 14 days
One of the concerns around mask wearing seems to have been proved to be unfounded.
