And remember: the longer the flight, the greater the risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Buses and subways: Risk for you and those around you\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Data from the subway systems in New York City and San Francisco show they have good ventilation, says Linsey Marr, an airborne disease transmission researcher at Virginia Tech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even that isn't enough to prevent transmission in a situation where riders are packed tightly together in each other's faces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marr says if a subway car is crowded, she's keeping her mask on. But if there's \"fewer than 10 people on a train, I probably wouldn't.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several experts said ventilation is more of a concern on city buses, where \"you're really breathing in what almost everyone else is breathing out,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://me.engin.umich.edu/people/faculty/jesse-capecelatro/\">Jesse Capecelatro\u003c/a>, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan who studies the flow physics of particles and droplets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Capecelatro has researched how \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7976046/\">air flow affects disease transmission on urban buses\u003c/a>. \"What we found was if the windows are closed, due to the recirculation of the air in the bus, whatever someone breathes out, in about 45 seconds, everyone in the bus is breathing in a portion of that,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his colleagues published models, using data from earlier in the pandemic, that showed when everyone on a bus is wearing a high-quality mask – assuming they're wearing it without big gaps around the nose and mouth – that dramatically reduces transmission risks. If no one was wearing a mask, and there was a highly contagious person on board, the modelling found that under certain conditions, about half the passengers on the bus could potentially get infected within 15 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says opening windows on a bus can make a big difference, but that's not always possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that buses tend to have less ventilation than other means of public transportation raises real equity concerns, says \u003ca href=\"https://sph.umd.edu/people/neil-j-sehgal\">Neil Sehgal\u003c/a>, an assistant professor of health policy at the University of Maryland School of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"\u003c/strong>Hispanic and Black people are more than twice as likely to take public transit than white people, and people with lower incomes are also disproportionately more likely to take public transit than people with higher incomes,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seghal says the end of mask mandates on buses means that people with fewer options for safer travel are now facing increased risk – including people who are medically vulnerable. For instance, people with cancer might need to ride a bus to their chemotherapy or oncology appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've increased the level of risk for these people without consideration that their risk tolerance may not be the same as ours,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Cabs and ride-sharing: Get some air in there\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you've ever been in a passenger car with a smoker, you know that the cabin will quickly fill up with smoke when the windows are up. (Some people call this hotboxing, with cigarettes and ahem, other substances.) Infectious aerosols behave like smoke, so in an enclosed car, they're also going to build up quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you consider the fact that ride-share drivers are picking up different passengers all day long, it's hard to predict what kinds of viral particles you might be breathing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you're in a cab or ride-sharing vehicle, \u003ca href=\"https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abe0166\">research has found\u003c/a> that your best bet to is to open the windows all the way to clear the air and lower your risk of transmission.

Both times, the crew disengaged the autopilot and were able to keep flying safely,\" NPR's Russell Lewis reports. \"In a third report, a pilot complained that the Boeing 737 MAX's flight manual was inadequate and 'almost criminally insufficient.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the Allied Pilots Association, which represents American Airlines' 15,000 pilots, \u003ca href=\"https://www.alliedpilots.org/News/ID/6769/Allied-Pilots-Association-Remains-Confident-in-Boeing-737-Max\">issued a statement\u003c/a> saying the union \"remains confident in the Boeing 737 Max and in our members' ability to safely fly it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group said its pilots \"have the necessary training and experience to troubleshoot problems and take decisive actions on the flight deck to protect our passengers and crew.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the union endorsed the continued use of the 737 Max, it added, \"The flying public should also be aware that American Airlines' Boeing 737 Max planes are unique.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The two dozen 737 Max aircraft in the American Airlines fleet are the only ones equipped with two AOA [Angle of Attack] displays, one for each pilot, providing an extra layer of awareness and warning,\" the union said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those displays could be crucial in avoiding a sudden downward pitch, which Boeing and the FAA have acknowledged as a risk in the airworthiness bulletin that was issued shortly after the crash of Lion Air Flight 610.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The airworthiness directive said Boeing had found the automated anti-stall system on its 737 Max 8 and Max 9 models can be triggered by a sensor reporting an erroneously high angle of attack — meaning the system believes the nose is too high and the plane is stalling, even though it's not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem presents \"a potential for repeated nose-down trim commands,\" the directive states, noting, \"This condition, if not addressed, could cause the flight crew to have difficulty controlling the airplane\" and possibly resulting in a crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation into the Ethiopian crash is still in its early stages, and experts have warned against drawing conclusions, despite similarities between the two deadly disasters. The Ethiopian Airlines plane's digital flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder were recovered Monday, and GebreMariam said they will be sent overseas for analysis, likely to either the U.S. or a European country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.
