I'm just happy to have a good excuse to wear a mask on an airplane. I always used to get sick after flights.

- JSavageOne 5y agoI don't notice myself getting sick any less now that masks are required on planes. Recently took 3 back-to-back flights and got sick afterwards for a few days. Maybe COVID, maybe not (hard to tell because other than loss of taste/smell there are no real distinguishing features of COVID symptoms from the flu or common cold).
- lambdaba 5y agoI wonder how much of this is the mask-wearing in the airplane and how much is simply now nobody travels with a sniffle anymore (maybe a slight exaggeration, but pre-covid you few would stay home with respiratory symptoms if they could physically manage it).
- zarzavat 5y agoThe airport is more risky than the airplane. In an airplane you are sat next to a fixed number of people and you have top down insertion of clean air, exactly like in an operating theatre. Meanwhile in the airport you are in a large building with many other people, you might come into contact with 100s of new people from a wide variety of places.

- vanusa 5y agoSame here, and you shouldn't be downvoted for this. Flying is just gross.
- alx__ 5y agoI will continue to wear a mask on airplanes and airports. I'm really enjoying not getting sick with a cold or flu
