Thanks BC. Personally I would love to get on a plane, but the big question for me would be how many of the characteristics of this special evacuation flight (for Koreans, presumably) exist on a typical commercial flight. A few factors that would be highly concerning to me:

• The study says most people on this flight were wearing N95s. They might have also been given training on proper usage of a N95. 
  
• 6 out of 299 passengers were positive, or 2%. Is that much lower than we would expect on a typical flight? Some estimates of prevalence in outbreak states like NY were as high as 8%? 
  

Still, relatively good news that people who are choosing to fly have pretty good odds, although not sure how to think about the risks of a superspreading event on a plane.
