If you are the kind who says, “You know, I'd mask on flights if WHO or the CDC said I should,” I guess you can now start masking on flights.

@augieray I've already decided to mask for life, so there's never going to be a debate with me.

@augieray Planes, trains, cars with strangers. Also in large gatherings, at indoor events, retail establishments, and so on. It doesn't bother me at all to mask.

I know there's no guarantee I won't get COVID, but I'm doing what I can to avoid it. Primarily because I don't want to find out what long COVID feels like.
