Likewise, baggage handlers are also in the front lines handling passengers baggage, not knowing if a baggage is infected with the Coronavirus, then later on touching other passengers baggage to have it become infected with the Coronavirus, which eventually spreads to other passengers, whom spread across the United States after they have claim their baggage. 

• The airline workers and all of us have been affected by COVID-19 in different ways.  We have to work together as a country, and stop spread of Covid-19 known as Coronavirus.  While hand washing and sanitation helps prevent the spread of Coronavirus, however the Coronavirus is still spreading through passengers and airline worker who are unaware they may be infected by the Coronavirus.
