I was thinking about this the other day, when Croatia, besides dealing with coronavirus and its fallout, also got hit by a pretty powerful earthquake and had to evacuate a birthing ward / hospital.

But then I asked myself, that given how much pain and annoyances us regular (and healthy) passengers have to go through on perfectly ordinary flights, is it really feasible to be transporting sick and/or vulnerable individuals in planes? I'm imagining it's very non-trivial, and would require a lot of support (a lot of doctors), so might not even be a net gain...



Sick and vulnerable people get transported by planes all the time. They don't go through the TSA.


Presumably you'd sell each person a row so they could lie down.
