I had no idea about the frequent air change on commercial aircraft, I just figured it was all recycled, stale air.
I totally agree that the passengers in airport terminal areas and on the plane, are the greatest health threat!
I always keep disinfecting wipes in my car, my husbands truck and his motorcycle and a package in my tote bag when traveling and I also keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse. I haven't flown anywhere in a couple of years and although I know airline employees are trying their best to keep aircraft cabins clean and disinfected but they already have so much to do in preparation for a flight and I wouldn't hesitate to wipe down armrests, tray tables, overhead light/call buttons, etc.
