Re:Masks on planes requirement dropped by some UK airlines by culopatin on Wednesday March 16, 2022 @07:02AM (#30697352)
It would be more like telling everyone to drive only at lunch and tea time because some people drink and drive. Look, I don’t get offended by people who wear masks or anything like that. But I got covid from a plane while wearing a mask, and I haven’t seen a peer reviewed paper that says the blue ones we use everywhere are worth anything. That in addition to the behaviors of 80% of the mask wearers on a plane… might as well remove the fake sense of security and let me have a pleasant 9h flight without my ears feeling like they are about to fall off.

I’m vaccinated, I’ll be tested by the time I get on the plane, so will everyone else (unless they fake a test, which is very easy), so I think my risk is the same risk I had of getting the flu before the pandemic.

You no longer need a test to get on a plane to the UK, from most countries
