Coronavirus ~ COVID-19

Lifting of mask rules creates headaches for some travelers.


In the weeks since a federal judge in Florida struck down the federal mask mandate for planes and other transportation settings, Americans have met the change with a mix of excitement and concern. Some travelers welcomed the news, even cheering on planes when pilots announced the ruling. For others, the prospect of flying with unmasked seatmates has been a source of anxiety.

The Justice Department said it would appeal the decision, but the rule has been dropped for the time being. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends wearing a mask on flights.

"we don't wanna wear masks" say the protesters like kids. I don't know anyone including myself who "likes" to wear them but grow up it protects others, others who might be a loved one to you. SO, stop it. The first time the little one came with family to visit she came in ahead as they were getting thigs out of the car. She say hi , then puts her little hand on her mask and says "mask on or off"? I said, honey, take it off but ty for asking. Did I mention she is 5 yrs old?.

Honestly, covid has become so highly political, religious, it's gross.

Yes it exists, yes there are tons of variants but for me I'm not getting the booster. It's my personal choice to not do so, as I have been to 5 doctors that said a component in the vaccine has caused my lupus and some other health issues, so no I won't get the booster. And no I did not sign up to die either, Ive already died twice and Im still here and thats not due to much medical help.

I find it odd that folks I come in contact with on both sides of political parties are now regretting getting the vaccines and boosters, because their health has gotten worse, way worse than before covid showed up!

Also when WHO and CDC and other factions don't completely agree with each other on basics of vaccines, their origins,masks, etc.. then to me it shows the government and all agencies have a mess, they can't fix so they pawn it off on someone, including Trump, when Fauci and Biden and everyone else involved are just as responsible for things, they let come out of their mouthes!

Im seeing that they don't give 2 shits about common man, just our money!

My new supervisor has COVID. She got it while training in Chicago. Darn you, Bears!

On a serious note, I'm not sure what variant she has but she's actually really sick. I hope she gets better soon.

Fully vaccinated and recovering from COVID now. Don't know which variant I have but would suspect Omicron. Was at a family event last weekend lots of hugs and love going around. After not being in large groups or hugging on people as I'd normally do for the last almost 3 yrs, I actually felt dirty when I left the party. Like I needed a shower. As it has turned out so far 3people got sick before me and 3 have gotten sick since me. So I guess 7 out of 70 isn't to bad.

May I ask what symptoms you had? I had have a sore throat for 10 days and no clue from the dr I saw what is causing it!
