Masked Man Comment:

Comment in regards to probability and the term long covid:
It would be likely a wave of covid isn’t confined to just the control tower. If it’s in the control tower then it is likely amongst passengers and staff as well.  It appears from the article that people are mostly worried about flight delays and getting to football games. It's hard for me to believe in the article there isn't any significant mention of precautions such as mandating masking for passengers given the fact their staff or at least the control tower is currently sick with covid.. of course there is a high probability  the staff is sick. Just imagine pilots getting covid..its bad enough man thinks he can fly...Staff would likely be sick from the last batch of maskless passengers. Of course I am merely speculating but its likely true; after all they are all stuffed together like sardines in an enclosed area/cabin during flight. Think about it: If the control tower has got covid then covid is probably on the rise and there is likely outbreaks in the whole area.

Then of course there is no mention of long covid which could affect staff and others for quite some time to come. That's the real tragedy to me is that lack of mentioning many will go on to suffer long covid therefore affecting career and quality of life.

That is the biggest problem in my mind is 'long covid'. Typical Newscasters and reporters and many others who talk about covid  often fail to mention 'long covid'. This failure to mention and acknowledge 'long covid' is truly an injustice. Every time we say covid we might as well include the term "long covid" while we are talking about it otherwise people will pretend it is likecovid is like a cold rather than treating covid as the dangerous  disease it is that often carries long term repercussions .

Just imagine somebody in the control tower with lingering long covid symptoms distracted by headaches fatigue etc. working off a computer helping guide planes in the sky. Yikes!
