Youāre still free to wear a mask on planes for as long as you want for whatever reason.
Oh wow fucking great then
America, where a failed shoe bomber means I have to take my shoes off in the airport but a 9-11 worth of dead people every week isnāt enough to wear a mask in enclosed tubes packed with people
This makes perfect sense to half the country. Live poker is never dying.
Yes half the country loves security theater
Itās for similar reasons why the majority of folks also donāt give a shit that half a million die from smoking each year.
Iām not sure what youāre saying exactly, but Iām guessing itās not great

Heās saying that people who are vaccinated think itās fine to let everyone else do whatever they want, cause itās not their problem anymore - just like non-smokers donāt really care in general that smokers die of cancer.
Well thatād be shortsighted, dumb and conveniently forgetting the people who got vaccinated
Yeah, I mean, Iām at the point where I donāt care what anyone else does cause Iāll just put on an N95/KN95 when I feel like itās the right call (which is most of the time lately), and I trust those to do a good job and keep my risk low.
I know like somewhere between 1% and 5% of masks will be nearly complete duds, so I should still be angry about other people forcing risks onto me, but for my own mental health I just ignore that part cause I know that at this point there will beā¦
- No more lockdowns
- No more well-enforced mask mandates
- No more vaccine mandates
- More variants most likely
I also know I canāt lock down again, and I regret my last couple rounds of personal lockdowns and admit that I took COVID safety way too far for my own well-being.
The ugggh was for whipping off the masks and then taking a giant group picture. Come the fuck on
Theyāve been wearing masks for 100% of the hours theyve been at work for years now
Have some empathy
Heās ignoring an obvious point. If thereās a novel variant entering the US via air, it makes a huge difference in the exponential growth curve if additional spread occurs on the airplane.
When weāre chugging along with no novel variants and on domestic flights I generally agree.

Also re: mask off selfie celebration upon the announcement
What theyāre hearing is āthe authorities have announced itās overā theyāre not thinking āsome incompetent judge made a rulingā
Yeah, thatās disgusting.
To them it probably means the pandemic is officially over. They wanted a pic to mark the moment.
