banned-for-life

A JetBlue passenger who flew from New York to Florida while awaiting test
results for COVID-19 has been banned from flying with the airline for
life.

The news comes after JetBlue Flight 253, which arrived at Palm Beach
International Airport (PBIA) on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m, was held on the
tarmac for three hours while medical personnel helped to remove two
elderly passengers. The rest of the flight’s 112 passengers were
eventually allowed to leave the aircraft at 11:30 p.m.

JetBlue later said that one of the passengers on the plane had previously
been tested for the coronavirus, and that he had boarded the flight
knowing that he was awaiting the results. Health and fire officials said
the passenger’s test came back positive, though it’s unclear exactly when
the passenger learned of the COVID-19 diagnosis.

Another traveler aboard the flight told CNBC that the passenger learned he
was infected with the coronavirus via a text message while still on the
flight, and was overheard speaking about the diagnosis by crew members.
JetBlue, however, did not say exactly how they were informed of the
situation.

In a statement shared with Fox News, JetBlue confirmed the passenger had
been banned from flying with the airline “in the future.”

“The health and safety of our customers and crewmembers is our first
priority. In reviewing last night’s event, we determined the customer
boarded our flight knowing he was awaiting results for a coronavirus test
without disclosing it to anyone at JetBlue,” the airline wrote in a
statement.

“Consistent with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
guidance, we ask all customers who are not feeling well, who believe they
may have coronavirus, or who are awaiting test results to avoid travel
until they are cleared by a medical professional," it continued.

“Last night’s event put our crewmembers, customers, and federal and local
officials in an unsettling situation that could have easily been avoided,
and as such, this customer will not be permitted to fly on JetBlue in the
future.”

The CDC currently says the risk of infection spreading on airplanes is
"low," as "most viruses and other germs do not spread easily" due to the
ventilation systems in place on aircraft. Still, passengers should remain
cautious, avoid contact with anyone exhibiting symptoms and wash or
sanitize hands often, according to CDC guidelines.

Experts have also shared tips for passengers who wish to disinfect their
plane seats and personal areas during air travel.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
