Why do people think it’s ok to not wear a mask on a flight when they are clearly sick?

Because masks are hot and uncomfortable. What's not to get?

Then do not fly when sick, if you cannot wear a mask. Have a little compassion and concern for others around you. Really not that difficult to do or understand.

I don't get it. If you're worried about getting sick, why don't you wear an N95 respirator? Why do you care what other people do?

I do wear a KN95 or N95 on planes. However, I would be better protected if everyone did and the air was properly filtered. You are sitting in a tiny plane with 200+ people where everyone is sitting packed in next to others (3-5 in a row together)---tight quarters with crappy air filtration. Why do you feel it's so important to NOT mask when you are visibly ill? How can you go thru life being so self centered and not caring a bit about others around you?

So you don't trust N95s. Got it.

Apparently you are not smart enough to understand simple science. Masks work. However, if everyone around you is maskless, then there is a chance you can still get covid. So masks work better the more people who are wearing them. Simple to understand.

That's the risk you're taking if you go around other people. There is no way to eliminate any chance to get Covid. Get a grip.

"There is no way to eliminate any chance to get Covid" so throw all your chances of minimizing risk/damage to the wind and say fsck it!!

Clowns.

Clown, I'm not going to participate in your circus theater with my mask costume so your anxiety is minimized.

I have no anxiety about your stupidity, PP. None. You are easy to identify, and will be easy to avoid.

You sure about that? According to you maskless people are everywhere especially sick ones. You can't avoid them. Stay home is your only solution.

Oh, ye of limited faith...

Masks are religious symbols of antisemitic Hamas supporters.

I'm sure you weren't the only one with covid on that plane.

N95, not N100. Nothing's foolproof. One N95 against a plane full of unfiltered exhale is not a good bet. Think, pp.

Right. Nothing is perfect, including everyone wearing masks. And, realistically, you can't compel good mask usage to people that don't want to mask. So if you're worried, take care of yourself based on your own risk tolerance.

I was sick over the holidays and flew home w no mask. Did I have Covid? No clue since I’m not paying to test for a cold.

Sure I can afford it. Still not doing it. If this were 2020, maybe. Today. Not a chance I’m testing.

DP and there are lots of us. That the reality of today.

It's not a matter of paying for it. The issue is that the results won't change what I do.

What difference will it make? If people got sick while away, they aren't going to cancel their trip home and hang out in a hotel for a few days.

So if you had Covid or the flu you would sit next to someone on a plane unmasked?

And this is why the one place I still mask is a plane. No one is canceling their trip because they’re sick so protect yourself.

By getting on a plane, you accept these risks, if you can't handle it stay home. That's the only option.
