    I’m still afraid of long-c. I insisted that we wore masks in airports and on flights when we took a trip last month. We live life in a normal fashion everywhere else (because we’re vaxxed and boosted), but I wasn’t willing to risk that environment.

      Do masks help the wearer? Last time I heard it didn’t. Probably wrong.

      Either way, good for you…even if it only helps others that’s a good reason!

        If they’re US American, a plane is likely the only public transportation they’ve ever taken. If they live anywhere remotely rural, it’s likely the only one available to them.

        Airports and planes see a lot of traffic from all over the world constantly rotating through. With some variation depending on the size of the city and your personal schedule, you’re running into more of the same people on normal public transport.
