This.

I have been on 8 flights in the past few weeks. If I were truly worried, I would wear a mask. You can't rely on other people.

As it is, I didn't encounter any truly sick-seeming people until my final flight home yesterday. Wishing I'd had a mask handy!

I hear you op. We always mask in airports/planes. It should be common courtesy to mask post 2020 when you are sick. Unfortunately courtesy isn't common.

+1. That includes when we are lining up for the flight.

My feelings are still if you are worried about getting sick then YOU have to protect yourself.

Wrong.

It's annoying, but as others have said - you can't control it. I always mask when I fly because that is something I can control.

I don’t even have any masks.

Because people are selfish. Wear a mask to protect yourself and ignore the eye rolls.

You cannot control other people. Nowadays, I always mask on a flight especially since one doesn't have to be displaying symptoms to be a carrier.

Because it is okay.

I think you are trolling. And if this is real and you haven’t been living under a rock you know exactly why people like this don’t wear a mask.

I would have asked for a seat change if the flight wasn't full.

I was next to a woman on a packed flight recently who was coughing and texting someone about how she had covid. Thankfully she wore a mask, and I did the same and I was fine.

Did you put a mask on you and your son? That’s the part you can control, or you can always choose not to fly. Also, hopefully you know that when you eavesdrop on other people’s conversations, you may not hear everything accurately.

MAGA Republicans idiots that’s why they are selfish and stupid
That’s why 50 percent more if them died of Covid and will continue to do so. Yay. Hope more of them suffer.

I’m sorry OP

Flying home to DC, my son was seated next to a lady who was clearly sick and complaining to her husband about how awful she felt. He was not entirely sympathetic and muttered something about having COVID himself. Neither husband nor wife were wearing a mask on the packed flight. I don’t get it.
