I wear a mask when I’m on a short plane trip because the odds are high someone will have a airborne illness. And the effort is minimal compared to the probability of exposure. But otherwise I don’t wear one.
Isn’t any illness on a plane an airborne illness?
Oh, hi Dad!
Edit: oh I’m dumb ignore my comment please
Sure I guess. I mean there’s illness that spreads by touch - fecal-oral transmission. Very common in any place with people. People don’t wash their hands. Touch things. People touch those things. Then eat. Bam. Stomach bug/shits.
This is basically always true with masking. It's so dang easy.
