Honestly, if someone's that deeply paranoid about covid, there's nothing an airliner could conceivably do that would alleviate their fears. I mean short of say, letting them fly with 0 other passengers.
And I say this while also recognizing that airplane cabins tend to circulate the air so much that transmission risks might be lower than in a lot of other scenarios within closed spaces. But even in such a case as that, a paranoid person is still going to be paranoid.
Exactly, even if Covid was worse than a bad flu, nothing we did would have stopped it. I'm in an apartment building with a shared ventilation stack, for example, and I can smell when my neighbor smokes in his unit. Lockdowns aren't preventing anything here.
Even in the article, they're quarantining for 10 days. The incubation period for Covid is 14 days, so that's pointless too.
The biggest "this whole thing is a scam" moment for me was when Canada, after totally failing to either secure or monitor the border in the early stages, when it could have helped, closed the border almost two years in, after Covid was already endemic.

Those last 3 words pulling a lot of weight there...

Chinese research lab workers don't stick to safety mesures.
Ex : the staff would get bit by the bats when moving the animals to clean. How could they with a hazmat suit on? They weren't wearing one.
My pops had guys in hazard suits walk around using sprayer tanks on the walls at his factory for the first weeks.
Corporate loved the photos so much they forgot to ask what was in the damn tanks looooool
