@MsMerope @ai6yr as fucked as it sounds, some folks are forced to travel with illnesses for numerous reasons. Sometimes it’s medical coverage limits, or visa expiring etc. Also, travel by air has become so routine that people don’t even associate it with risk to others to travel while sick. This person is in dire medical distress, but they may also not be with many options or be in a proper state of mind to make such decisions - or both.
