Of the 52 cases, 34 came from abroad — primarily from Vietnam — while the remaining 18 were transmitted domestically at home or medical facilities through international travelers.

the pilot doesn’t deserve being gendered? the child, okay I can see having their info private. but “3 women, and child, and the pilot” just seems a lil weird

I read it as “readers know the plane must have had a pilot, so we’re going to specifically mention that the pilot was also okay”. And I would rather pilot remain a genderless word over references to “pilot” and “pilotess”, or “the male pilot / the female pilot” or some other such nonsense.
