It’s okay, @Delta says Covid is an “ordinary seasonal virus”, which can literally infect you now in every season. pic.twitter.com/o7bbbPFwBc— Saugar Maripuri (@saugarmaripuri) April 19, 2022
I'm actually glad the mandate is gone (it was inevitable anyway) because this means you can now wear a valved elastomeric and get 100% protection. They're surprisingly comfortable with the valves, but were previously banned for not having source control. I am much more relaxed with one of those on than with everyone wearing shoddy cloth masks between snacks.
I can sympathize with that. I wish we had a nationwide mask mandate. It's simply my estimation that given the state of mask compliance on planes prior to this, the infection risk isn't much changed and instead it's much easier to comfortably protect yourself. Obviously a horrific policy change for anyone who cannot wear a respirator though.

I definitely don't agree with you
