None of the 179 passengers on board a United Airlines flight where a passenger died of a heart attack and tested positive for the novel coronavirus have been informed by the airline.
This is the same airline, it is worth pointing out, that banned a family for life from flying with them because their two-year-old child had problems keeping her mask on.
This represents the latest in a series of what many are calling baffling and erratic behavior on the parts of airlines.
The incident occurred on a flight from Orlando to Los Angeles on Dec. 14, where the plane had to make an emergency landing in New Orleans, due to one of the passengers going into cardiac arrest. He died in New Orleans at hospital, where it was also found that he had the coronavirus.
According to TMZ, the man's wife admitted that her husband, whose identity remains undisclosed, had symptoms such as shortness of breath and a loss of smell and taste, but lied at the airport about them, refusing to disclose them.
A spokesperson for United has gone on record as saying that they have passed the flight manifest on to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and that it is the CDC's responsibility to contact passengers.
When pressed as to why the information wasn't made immediately available in what would have been a timely manner up to and during the plane's emergency landing, the spokesperson claimed that it's not their responsibility, since they aren't medical professionals.
TMZ has stated that, so far, none of the passengers they have contacted have been notified by the CDC either.
