Commercial air travel is not a big deal compared to the huge volume of atmosphere at all.
COVID only managed to kill around 1% of infected even accepting the bizarrely manipulated "COVID death" formulas and numbers. Not exactly a big enough threat for all the Policy Tyranny. And most of the tyranny had no sane relationship to doing something good against a pandemic anyway. Many treatments that would have greatly lessened death were suppressed. Very strange.
Oh the copter accident. Is that what this is about. :)
