Ill take my chances with this Wuhan already. Open it up! Give people freedom. Freedom to do what they want. That will resolve everything. Sell the seats, no masks, no restrictions. The open market will determine our fate.

You don’t wanna fly then don’t. There’s always cruise ships and sailing vessels as alternatives. Lol!

99.9% chance of surviving and or not getting it. We’ve been had!

OPEN IT UP!

Just look how many people wanna drink at a bar in NYC!

I have to wonder how many people WON’T fly because of the mask requirements. My wife made it crystal clear that she’s not going anywhere until that nonsense is over. She can’t be the only one who feels that way.

Both of you are spot on! I know people who said the same thing. They won’t fly again until the mask requirement goes away.

Default Not wearing a mask

I have to agree with both of the above posts and was waiting for someone else to say it. Where I live in Florida, everything is open, went to the barber a couple of days ago. A Fresh Market grocery nearby has a masks required sign, only place I've been where I've seen that. I won't go there, or anywhere else that requires a mask. Just from being out running errands I do see people in masks, but they are the minority.

My wife and daughter flew to visit and help my son for a couple days. The flight was fine (WN), light load, masks required but looking around she said masks were on/off for drinking and snacking. The destination hotel had no breakfast (expected) and some rules in place like only one person in the lobby at a time, others had to wait outside. Walks on beach were approved but no standing or sitting. What bothers her most is she's afraid to tell anyone or post about the trip for fear of shaming or raising eyebrows, it feels like travel is still verbotten in this country, maybe it is?

Yeah, we need more weeks for real movement. I’m along the lines of that graph on the one Union brief, seemed to indicate mid to later June for a true upswing.

Some thinking may be it shows an attempt to keep things ‘safe’ with the masks & the smell of disinfectant on the plane. Details are being sorted out, ‘hospitalizations’ are generally trending down.

Remember that early jump to taser training after 9-11? It seemed a little silly to me, the thinking may of been to try to put passengers at ease about flying.

Costco in Dallas requires a mask. No mask no entry. Since I needed 5 gallons of mayo, 86 AAA Batteries, 2 and a half miles of aluminum foil, and a 36 lb brisket I’ll play their reindeer games

Kirkland TP is finally back in stock, too!! But seriously, who gives a rat’s ass if they require a mask. Put it on when you go in, take it off when you leave. It’s just not that big of a deal.
