There were reports of people taking off their masks in flight the second they found out

Porky is going to sacrifice these people for the line and they're happy about it.

    What would you estimate the probability of me having symptomless covid and spreading it to someone

    Too high. Just wear a fucking mask it takes literally no effort and doesn't negatively affect you in any meaningful way.

      How high is too high?

      Would you say it's higher than the chance of someone being harmed as a result of a car trip, either instead of the plane ride or during the rides to/from the airport?

        None of those things are contagious. It's not just the chance of you getting it, but spreading it to others.

        Again, it takes literally no effort and doesn't negatively affect you in any meaningful way.

          Masks are uncomfortable, especially if you have skin conditions, and especially if you have to wear them during travel times that have ranged up to 25 hours in the past year for me.

          I just don't want to. Just like I would be reducing the risk of killing other people by walking 4 hours with my luggage to the Amtrack station and then taking a 2.5 day train ride vs ubering to the airport and taking a 5 hour flight. But I don't really want to.

          So no, I don't really care about changing a one in a hundred million chance of infecting someone into a one in a million chance. And given the rates of covid illness being more than a cold, we're closer to one in a billion. The numbers would be different if I didn't have vax or natural immunities.

          And yes, you have my permission to absolutely stay mad about it. 💅 I hope you understand how comically alienating you fellas are to the working class. 💪

            Bro if you fly that much, you are the one who is alienated from the working class, lol. You're probably some consultant or manager dipshit, and in the event you are actually like, a high skill welder or something, your experience of frequent traveling is incredibly alienated from the average worker. Shits not a commute, it's an event.

            Holy shit get over yourself. Masks aren't that uncomfortable.

            Just like I would be reducing the risk of killing other people by walking 4 hours with my luggage to the Amtrack station and then taking a 2.5 day train ride vs ubering to the airport and taking a 5 hour flight. But I don’t really want to.

            Ahh yes, 2 and a half days in an enclosed metal tube with other people, definitely safer than 5 hours in an enclosed metal tube with other people. Plus obviously walking 4 hours is not a feasible form of transport.

            So no, I don’t really care about changing a one in a hundred million chance of infecting someone into a one in a million chance. And given the rates of covid illness being more than a cold, we’re closer to one in a billion.

            Your source for that.

            And yes, you have my permission to absolutely stay mad about it. 💅 I hope you understand how comically alienating you fellas are to the working class. 💪

            Ok you're just some dumbass troll.
