I just discovered that an aquaintance of mine flew back from Africa AFTER testing positive for covid

He may have become infected here in the U.S., but didn't become symptomatic until he was in East Africa. I don't know the exact timeline. The doctor there asked him if he'd be more comfortable recuperating back home, so he (the doctor) falsified his papers to say that he was virus free.

I wonder how many people got infected from his flight? I wonder how many died?

I will never trust anyone who says they are vaxxed or tested, just to get on a flight.
Of course their answer is yes. All it takes is one liar.

I don't know how to stop this stupidity, but it certainly shows a weakest link scenario.

I suspect he'd be banned from whatever airline he flew. Which he deserves to be.
