Current Events > Local airline requires negative COVID test to travel on their flights

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.beringair.com/covid-19-information/

Negative COVID-19 Test is required for all passengers departing Nome & Kotzebue. Test must be taken within 72hrs of departure and presented at check-in.

Travel authorizations may be required at check-in. Many of the communities that Bering Air serves have enacted their own travel restrictions and may require authorization to enter. Please check with local leadership at your destination before making reservations.

Masks/Face coverings are now required while onboard any of our aircraft as well as inside our lobbies. Please bring your own mask, bandana, scarf, or other form of nose and mouth covering. If you do not have one, we can provide one while supplies last.

This. I mean if this were smallpox instead of Covid, this airline certainly wouldn't be letting positive patients on board their planes either. This is no different.

The people who fear microchips are amusing to me. We already have smartphones. Everything we do is already tracked. >.>

yea that's what i don't get lol. My phone is always within 5 feet or so of me and if they wanted to any government body could use it to track my every move. Advertisers already use the microphone and my web history to track my use. and people think the government need to implant a chip to do the same?...and they also think that wearing a mask is the first step to them being able to make the chip mandatory? lmao.

I would hold off on flights until the vaccine, get the vaccine, but if they want medical records, hold off until the authoritarian measures are lifted (which I suspect won't be lifted for a few years after the vaccine arrives).

You don't know what companies would do with that sensitive information.

You have too much trust in companies, that mentality will lead to societies' downfall. You're better off waiting, to save society.

What information? It'll likely just be an official form with your name that says you got the shot and signed off by a doctor...what are you so paranoid about? elaborate.
