A San Francisco doctor returning from volunteering at a New York City hospital to help fight the coronavirus says he was forced to endure a packed flight on United Airlines — despite the carrier’s promise to enforce social distancing.
There were many passengers on board who were “scared” and “shocked” by the airline’s lack of social distancing measures, he said. Weiss said he was traveling with around 25 other nurses and doctors who have been volunteering on the frontlines of Big Apple hospitals for the past few weeks. Another physician returning home, Dr. Rebecca Palvin, also blasted the airline for not doing more to protect travelers. “Hey @United: I appreciate you getting us home from New York, but I’d prefer there be some level of #socialdistancing,” she wrote.
