Good luck wearing that on a ten hour flight.
Nate
Yup. My first thought as well.
Won't be taking any, but would consider for a two hour flight
I think the risk of picking up this virus when flying will be pretty low.Soon you won’t even be permitted to enter the airport if you have a high temperature let alone board a plane.Yes of course someone could have the virus and not be showing symptoms but with all the new safety measures that will be introduced and the fact that modern planes are already fitted with HEPA filters the same air filters that are used in operating theatres that remove 99.97% of impurities I think the risk will be low.
Personally I’m not worried about flying and will do so as soon as borders open again.There has never been a vaccine produced for any Coronavirus so this virus may be here to stay.I completely understand the need to shut things down and not let health systems get overwhelmed but in some places it is now time to seriously start looking at safely opening up again.

If modern planes are already fitted with HEPA filters and they're still germ-incubators, that doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence.

It's starting to get bad again in Seattle. It's as if people have forgotten there is a virus. At the same time, places like movie theaters are opening in a limited way. It makes zero sense. Due to my health, I really don't leave the house except to get food & prescriptions & I only go at nonpeak times. Have been to a few family type things but not many or often. If I get the virus, it will be a very bad thing.

Probably the last place I'd want to go to is a public gym where people are profusely sweating and panting, and the virus is swimming around in perpetual motion due to all the activity.
Even with all the current safety protocols of sanitizing equipment, limited numbers of people, physical distancing etc., it a big NO from me.

^ That's what has happened in the US. It is selfish people who are making it worse. The result is more people sick and dead.
What blows my mind is the selfishness of many of these people. It is simple, wear a mask, if things are bad and getting worse shut things down a bit to save lives. Hopefully the vaccines will be effective but we need time to get there.

Today, I sat in a dermatologist's office in Bradenton, Florida. A doctor's office and there were still people "wearing" a mask with their noses completely exposed!!! There are those that will say, "I can't breathe" and "it's uncomfortable". I don't buy it. It's pure selfishness. I know it's a pain but it is less of a pain than more and more people getting sick and/or dying!

Good one, STG! I saw this one recently: "Thou shalt not Covid thy neighbour's life. Wear thy mask."

If masks work, why the lockdowns, if they don't work why are we forced to wear them.
Another thing, why don't we get flu in the flu season, only covid, can't believe people still haven't worked this one out yet.
Another really strange thing at the Hotel i work in, nearly 200 bedrooms almost fully booked all summer with guests from all over Britain including Liverpool, London and Manchester and not a single member of staff became sick from covid all summer and up to last Thursday, very strange that, cleaners, waitresses etc, many of them old too, go figure, guess we all got lucky to avoid this highly contagious covid, good job the Hotel is locked down, who knows what may have happened had it stayed open. Thank God we probably won't have jobs to go back to when the Hotel goes broke and Fuloued runs out next April.
