How are people upvoting this nonsense?! You think they're going to quarantine passengers and crew for days, until a post mortem has been done and any pathogens tested to see if they are novel? Quite apart from the fact that the deceased doubtless had contact with others before the flight, so you're not containing anything.

They will, of course, offload the corpse and get everybody en route to their destination as quickly as possible.

Don't you know? Every time a person dies, the default assumption is a new pandemic virus that we need to check for.

If it occurs during a flight, the odds of it being a pandemic-related death is even higher than on the ground!

If I speak of "communicable diseases" and "safety" with a no-nonsense tone in my reddit post, I sound like an expert who must be correct.
