At this point, how much of mask wearing is "science" and how much is a matter of feeeeling better and how much is liberal virtue signaling?

Question

Example 1.  On an airplane you can be arrested for not wearing a mask, but 2 minutes later everyone removes their mask, while sitting in exactly the same location, to eat and drink.  It would take magic, not science, to make one safe and not the other.

Example 2.  At the post office the other day, a woman went all nutty because someone at the next line over did not have a mask on.  That same woman then went back through the line, bumping into everyone, to escape instead of just exiting like you should.  She literally had to push back through the line, but she felt all virtuous, right?

Tell us honestly, when was the last time you boarded a plane?  2019, right?

I haven't had a cold in 15 months and no one else in my office has either.    It was really great to get through a fall/winter without a hurking cough for three weeks or having a bunch of staff absences due to easily preventable colds.

Spit and snot contains cooties.  Keep it to yourself.  Wear a mask, wash your hands and respect the personal space of others.

And please let's get rid of the handshake.   All you have to do is look around and see where people's hands go...in their noses, picking their teeth, rubbing their eyes, etc.   Hands are filthy so keep them to yourself.

No, you can't get arrested for not wearing a mask on a plane, but you might be asked to get off.  If you refuse, and cause a scene, then you could be arrested for failure to follow flight crew instructions.  People on planes need to eat and drink, so they airlines allow for people to do so.  You are more likely to expel virus talking than eating.

In your second example, the women was an idiot.

I can't remember the state, but one of them had counties that required masking, and others that didn't.  There was clear evidence of increased infections in the counties that didn't require masks. So the science is correct.

Surgeons, dentists and other medical personnel wear masks.

If you yourself are not sick you shouldn't be wearing a mask in reality
