Reply to comment by not_gonna_lurk in Exclusive: U.S. considers airline wastewater testing as COVID surges in China by Smithy2232

One test of waste vs dozens of people, if waste tests positive we can send the plane back or get people off it into proper quarantine

Truly curious, so if one person is sick and the waste water tests positive then everyone goes back/goes into quarantine?

That's how it works, if one person is infected it's likely everyone near them was infected, possibly that whole side of the plane or worse.
