| United passengers ignoring risk of COVID to perform CPR on man who died from the virus aboard flight after 'lying about symptoms to fly' |
| 2020-12-22 |
| [MAIL] Video has emerged of the desperate battle by fellow passengers to save a man's life who had fallen unconscious while traveling on a flight from Orlando to Los Angeles. In a terrifying ordeal for nearby passengers the man was seen on the plane shaking and sweating and having a hard time breathing even before the flight took off. But once United Flight 591 was in the air, his condition deteriorated rapidly and the captain made the decision to perform an emergency landing in order for the man to receive medical attention. Fortunately, there were three CPR-trained professionals who were onboard the flight who risked catching the coronavirus themselves in order to perform life-saving emergency procedures. |

| #2 Why the CPR mask was made. I'd wager stress attack. Flying gets people wound up on a good day; add in each layer of checkpoint, health conditions, and maybe a night hanging out with Andrew Gillum. Honestly surprised only 3 CPR trained responders. Flight like that I'd expect the crew to have been rated, then along passengers, then the Cliff Notes in case everyone starts spitting eggs. |

| #1 Bravery and selfless service to one's fellow man well defined. Frankly, I'm not at all sure I would have been up to the task. |
