As one of the few people I see who still wears a mask on airplanes, I think back and wonder how this wasn't always a thing, even before COVID.

Travelers are in a closed space for a prolonged period of time sharing possibly-infected air with people who have been all around the world and likely in close company with even more people.

COVID or not, wearing a mask is only a minor inconvenience and it shouldn't even be a question about whether or not to wear one, provided you care about your own health and/ or the health of others.

@jstatepost Not everything needs to be a joke.
in reply to Alice McFlurry

husband and i are going to england for xmas to see his family. i suspect we'll be the only ones on the MSP-LHR flight wearing masks.

i'm not psyched about masking every single minute of a 10-hour flight (meaning no food or drink), but it's still better than covid...
