I assume the opposite. More cautious people wear masks. [/quote]

Same. I usually think the maskers are more cautious.

We always have them with us when flying. We didn't use them over the summer, but did in the fall when a lot of our acquaintances were sick.  We'll probably wear them later this month.  I don't like them, but can tolerate it for a few hours.  [/quote]
At this point, if they are wearing a mask, they are either physically ill or mentally ill.  It is crazy.  i was a huge masker for about 2 years (well, avoided the planes completely for a year first).  But right now you are certifiable if you are wearing them while traveling if you don't wear them anywhere else.[/quote]

Meh. I’m not that worried about getting sick at home, near my doctor and a Minute Clinic visit away from antibiotics or Paxlovid. If I’ve waited all year for international travel, I’m a lot more concerned about staying healthy.  First, so I can enjoy the vacation. And second because is a lot harder to get medical care in a foreign country— even if all you need is a strep test and antibiotics or something similarly minor.

In the same vein, I do start to take masking in public crowded places and avoid eating in restaurants  about a week before I leave.

Last month, my MaGA maskless 75 year old parents went on a cruise to Japan that was two years in the making. Got COVID symptoms day 3, tested positive, were not able to access Paxlovid. They ended up pretty sick and stuck in their cabin for most of the trip.  And by the time they dealt with the jet lag coming home we’re half dead.  That’s not how I plan to spend my vacation next month. [/quote]

You are a refreshing reality check, amidst the macho deniers.[/quote]
