While people across the globe continue to physically distance as a means of stopping the spread of COVID-19, one United Airlines flight allegedly didn’t.
Dr. Ethan Weiss, a cardiologist flying from New Jersey to San Francisco on Saturday, posted a photo on Twitter showing the packed cabin, full of people wearing masks and gloves to protect themselves. “I guess @united is relaxing their social distancing policy these days?” he wrote. “Every seat full on this 737.” He followed up with another tweet with more details about the flight, writing that people on his flight were “scared” and “shocked,” and he had no idea why most of them were travelling, apart from the other 24 nurses and doctors he’d been working in New York City with.
