Ok no but this literally was announced at 530 this morning as I was waiting to board the shuttle to my flight. A white pilot was there and he started shouting and celebrating and telling everyone after throwing his mask away. When he told me it was almost like he half expected me to throw my mask in the air and dance a jig. I did not.
When we boarded the shuttle, the (black) bus driver refused to drive until all passengers were masked. These 3 (white) pilots, including aforementioned pilot, stared to loudly argue about how the federal government trumps the bus rules and how it was stupid and no longer needed. The bus driver held his ground until the pilots all begrudgingly, sort of, masked up.
When the shuttle dropped us off, I shit you not, this man ran down the terminal telling people the mandate was lifted like he was Paul revere and the British were coming.
I did not remove my n95 for even a second from the moment I stepped out of my car until I got in my rental car over 10 hours later.
As an immune compromised person, the mask mandate was the only thing that really made me feel comfortable flying and now I have to make serious evaluations about every trip I’m scheduled to take this year
What confuses me here is that wearing a mask does not protect you. Nor was it ever intended to. Like I’m sure you felt safe wearing your mask, but it doesn’t in any way keep you from catching the virus. It helps prevent you from *spreading* the virus if you have it. But you’re in equal danger whether you wear it or leave it on under the circumstances you described.
What a wonderful opportunity to talk about how this is 100% false and that even double layered cloth masks reduce your likelihood for catching Covid by 70% and a well fitting n95 can reduce your chances by over 90%.
Wear your mask, even if no one else is. It could save your life.
