one more true pilot story: two international pilots were found to have cv in los angeles during a stopover. both were put in hotels, with absolutely no support, even from the hotel. one was repatriated to his home country, he survived, with constant monitoring of blood clots and oxygen levels. he was on blood thinners, antibiotics. his co-pilot died in la.
the survivor was actually vaccinated in between testing negative and contracting the disease, so there's no way to tell if he was suffering disease or vaccine effects.
listening to the whole saga from a family member, it was just amazing how much confusion there was, and what a total lack of support. pilots are very, very unhappy.
