Maybe he might get the annual award, lets hope any damages are forwarded to the family of the poor bugger that actuallly died.

    So it seems that his children went on the flight with apparent chicken pox, this exposing hundreds of people, some of whom would be pregnant, aids cases, cancer sufferers, on steroids or other immunosuppression. :shock:
    If the passengers find out out the danger and fear that his family have caused he might need all the compensation he can get, poor chap: were there many american lawyers on board ?

    Chicken Pox isn't harmful to pregnant women, it's Rubella (German Measles) that is.
    It's typical of the compensation culture that we've got these days.

    Was the part where he said " All that matters is that my family are safe and condolences to the family of the man who died"

    If anything happens now people immediatley think they are entiteled to a payout of some description .
    Although it must have been terrible for him why can't he just be bloody grateful

    That's what the insurance industry hopes, so they can sell all sorts of accident and litigation policies.

    I just noticed this post, here is the belated reply, copied from cds page:

    Vaccines and Preventable Diseases:
    Varicella Vaccine - Q&As about Pregnancy
    Clinical Questions and Answers

    Question and Answer image

    What are the risks of varicella in pregnant women?

    Susceptible pregnant women are at risk for associated complications when they contract varicella. Varicella causes severe maternal morbidity, and 10%-20% of infected women develop varicella pneumonia, with mortality reported as high as 40%.

    Newborns whose mothers develop varicella rash from 5 days before to 2 days after delivery are at risk for neonatal varicella, associated with mortality as high as 30%. Furthermore, intrauterine infection may result in stillbirth, herpes zoster during infancy or early childhood, or congenital varicella syndrome.
