Yeah. Thanks for the laugh. Someday there will be the study that will try to prove 0 is actually not 0, later they realise that it is O.

Yes, less virus risk, maybe a little bit, if the used air is not filtered but immediately directed outside of the plane, otherwise you have the same sum of virus load , from the not flying people plus the concentrated virus pool in the airplane filters and spread later back on ground. That is all of no use at all, because nothing of the amount is reduced, only the type of spreading is altered. But feel free to take the rare window seat instead and raise some other risk like radiation exposure. lol

Hej. Filters are called filters for a reason. Think about it.
