"Fever Check" at Loreto airport
Tomorrow a friend of ours from the US will arrive in Loreto. She just e-mailed that she had a bit of whatever gripa is going around her office. A
moment ago a freind told me that they check you for fever at the Loreto airport. But we don't know WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU HAVE A FEVER??? Do they send
you back to the US???

If she has the gripa she should give the other passengers a break and not fly.

Exaclly, back when the Piggy Flew frist broke on April SJD would screen you both inbound and outbound. Consequenses I dont know I was not a carrier.
They must be doing it for a reason so I would imagine there would be some consequences.

i don't think the sick traveler is ignorant, just selfish, inconsiderate and rude.

Wonder if your friend ever thought about the other people on the plane whose vacations could be ruined because of her choices?

You probably didn't know there were so many do gooders on this forum having great intentions for protecting their fellow men. Just as long as it
doesn't affect them.
I hope your friend made it alright and has a great vacation.

You really think that? ----Really? I wonder if everyone is that selfish. Would those who questioned the idea of flying while sick do so if they
were sick?
Really sad if that is the case. Even my 91 year old mother-in-law would not eat in the public dinning room in the retirement apartments as long as
she was running a fever. She gave up all social interaction to not risk giving others her gripa.
I just can't believe that all are so selfish that flying while sick only applies to others.

i'm flying out of here in a few days and i would be deeply unappreciative of anyone on the "airliner" that decided it was o.k. to spread their illness
to their fellow passengers.
i, for one, would not travel if i was sick for 2 reasons:
1. wouldn't want to spread my illness in the highly contagious environment of an airliner.
2. wouldn't want to share my illness with the folks i'm going to see.

The paranoid comments here are a bit silly-people always carry germs and bugs and all kinds of illness on their body-that's life.
If you are personally worried about catching something, you should be the one wearing a mask, washing your hands and eating an excellent diet of
healthy food which in itself is the most powerful prophylactic against catching colds/flu.
If you are one to believe that taking flu shots is a good idea to protect than do that, take three as suggested. But I suggest you read the insert
info sheet entirely first.
However please refrain from attacking third parties because you believe their sniffles put you at risk. You are each responsible for yourself, for
caring for yourself and making your own decisions about what risks you take by traveling without projecting your fears upon others as being
responsible for your health because you sense they sniffled. If you are such fear of H1N1 and Baja then you should stay home.
My personal opinion that being in remote baja is among the healthiest and safest places to be and that diversity of biology here among plants and
people makes it a healthier environment.

earth to newkid, earth to newkid, can your hear me now?
we are not talking about living in the bush while eating tofu and broccoli. we are talking about not wanting to be packed in a sardine can for many
hours with a contagious sick person (flu, cold, etc) and little ventilation.
this is why i always fly by private charter jet

It has been well documented that sick airline passengers have a high probability of spreading their cold and flu viruses to other passengers.

We're living in a media induced paranoid society.
6000 some deaths in the USA, couple of hundred thousand worldwide, and the media makes it out like we're all at death door and should be ready to meet
our maker. All that with a world population of around 8 billion.
Maybe this old earth could use a good cleansing, but this won't do it.
Be aware, the disease Gods are busy in their labs to come up with something of real concern to humanity.

Hello hello - you said if you don't want the "risk" of being near people then do not take a plane, however if you do do not place the responsibilty
for your health on others.
There is no logic in this thread, say presumably you did take a vaccine because you think its a good idea then you are protected presumably, or
converserley that you did take a vaccine so you are greater risk of mutating virus. However to suggest that you didn't take a vaccine and neither did
someone else so therefore they put you at risk? It makes no sense?
Bottom line-you need to make your own decisions and take your own precautions in life. You decide for yourself what steps-not anyone else for you.
Please be concientious of the false mindset that somehow others are responsible either to check you, force your to vaccinate or somehow are
responsible for your health if they are sick-these arguments lack logic and provide no resonable and responable plan to protect yourself.
In case it needs to be repeated, eat well-sleep well-that is the best and likely only way to care yourself now and forever.
This commentary has nothing to do with discussing the validity of the value of vaccines which is an entirely other non-sensical discussion, that I am
sure can devolve from here.
