It is NOT a good idea to fly without wearing a mask

9. good chance this is misunderstood?

some level of (degraded?) mRNA found in almost all flights tested (in Malaysia)

- linked article - The aircraft sewage surveillance process involves systematic sampling and testing for untreated wastewater and sewer contamination. RNA fragments of the SARS-CoV-2 virus are found in the feces of infected individual regardless of health status (symptomatic, asymptomatic, pre-symptomatic, recovered) and can be detected in sewage. This form of the virus is not infectious and can't be transmitted via feces.

this gives some (rather loose?) indicator of current (and prior?) infection in a population.

(wearing a mask is a solid public health measure, regardless - from now on into the foreseeable future most likely)
