The title is misleading to the point of being click bait.
No one is getting banned from wearing medically approved PPE.
They are banning people who use 'body tents' (which take up way more space on an aircraft than just your body) and people who are trying to change the air around them (which is shared by other people, and therefore cannot be considered Personal, per the definition of PPE)
A more appropriate title would be: Airlines Ban Personal Tents and Air-Polluting Devises Now Popularly Marketed as Pseudoscientific Antiviral Protection
Of course phrasing it as such would remove the news worthy element and make it seem like the reasonable move it is.
- fxtentacle 6y agoFully agree. I flew to Asia to visit relatives a few times and I always hated it if people spray their Eucalyptus oil into the air, because it seems to attack my throat. Plus I'm not sure what it would help with/against? In general, anything that potentially degrades the air quality for other passengers and does not have any provable benefit should be prohibited. Ozone is an obvious candidate, given that it will most likely make Covid spread more, not less.
