NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG) - Business class was that silent and spacious sanctuary for the well-heeled, at least until the pandemic destroyed global aviation. But as flights creep back, this once-exclusive haven is being invaded, by the masses.
Flush with cash and a record number of air miles after a year on the ground, leisure travellers are splurging on premium seats for their first trips back. They are not just after the plated food, champagne and little cosmetics that typically come with the higher fares. Rather, they are trying to minimise the risk of catching Covid-19 in the cheek-to-cheek jostle of economy class.

Houston Hospital First In Nation To Require Staff COVID-19 Vaccinations
Vaccinating hospital staff reduces risk to patients.
The Houston Methodist hospital system is now the first U.S. hospital to require all staff to be vaccinated against Covid-19. The bold move toward mandatory vaccination comes on the heels of a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report showing that the messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are 90% effective at preventing Covid-19 infections in healthcare workers and first responders.
On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported that Marc Boom, MD, the hospital’s chief executive officer, notified the staff via email of the new vaccine policy. The Methodist system currently requires all new staff to be fully vaccinated. The new mandate will require all staff to receive their first vaccine dose by the middle of April.
