Is it possible that one of 4 of your family members was sick before boarding and passed it on to the rest of you?

Oh, and Covid incubation is 2-12 days, so those sick at the start were most likely sick before boarding.

Folks dying? How was that hidden? How many? Too bad this is a third party crossposting and they can’t respond.
