You are bang on. I'm a Paramedic that covers a one of the busiest airports in North America. Just this past week I was called for a 23 y/o female returning form a southern tropical vacation. While there she fell ill with fever, cough, aches and pains. The day before they departed (4 days since onset of symptoms) she went to a local physician who administered a 'rapid covid test' of which came back negative. She was treated with steroids and inhalers and told to 'not say anything and fly home tomorrow and go to the hospital when you return' (oh ya, he told her she may also have a partial collapsed lung but we won't even go there) So she and her husband boarded a multi hour flight in no better a condition than when she saw the physician. When she arrived at our airport we were called. We found her sitting in a wheel chair without a mask. I asked the obvious question "why did you get on an airplane when you were so sick, coughing with wheezing and congestion, and since you did, did you by chance at least wear a mask?' And I bet you can guess, her response was 'no because I tested negative for Covid'. This is only one example of the many people we are called to assist in public places with respiratory flu like symptoms who when we ask why did you go out, they said "because I took the test and it was negative' . This is observational only, but pretty much n line with your video. All the best in 2024.
