    New York City Health Dept says it won't have final test results till later tonight, but looking like the #Emirates plane illnesses were caused by influenza.



    The cause of the illness on Emirates Flight 203 is "probably influenza," New York City acting Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot told reporters.

      Very odd, if it is flu, that so many should become severely symptomatic within hours, even with an ongoing epidemic at the point of embarkation it would be exceptional.

        Kind of odd that a similar situation occurred yesterday Sept. 6th, 2018 in plane landing in Philadelphia airport:
