bdenner Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 If you have ever worn a mask for 26 + hours you will be aware it is not a pleasant experience, the V between my head and ears was chaffed to a point where it was very uncomfortable. Finished up removing the mask and pulling a jacket over my head. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wore a mask, until recently, yet I contracted Covid a couple of months ago, as have millions of other mask wearers. Wearing a mask has nothing to do with preventing you from catching Covid, the idea is to stop you from spreading it if you already have it. This has been the reason from the start.

The first paragraph does not state that "masks must be worn", it states that "some reports said [wrongly] that masks must be worn". To quote you, "words have specific meanings", so does the way they are used. Thank you for such an insightful retort. My post was referring to the OP and the words that was used. So where did it mention "[wrongly]" since you have it in quotations? So, why use a word that wasn't used? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlover Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 47 minutes ago, Medit8 said: 4 hours ago, Moonlover said: Consider this. An airline operator only has a finite number of cabin crew. If just one passenger, who decides not to wear a mask is Covid +ve, there's a chance that the cabin crew could contract the virus and, at the very least have to go into isolation for a week. So how long do you suppose it would be before all the cabin crew was infected and the airline grinds to a halt if no passengers wore masks? I know, it's a worse case scenario, but could happen. The airline have a duty of care to protect their staff, their passengers and their business, so they have every right to insist on mask wearing on their flights. 48 minutes ago, Medit8 said: You are trying to make a reasoned, well-measured response.

starky Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 2 hours ago, Hanaguma said: From what I have read, the "science" on aircraft and the virus is that there is really little risk of catching Covid during a flight. Yes, the cabin is sealed. However, the air is constantly drawn upward to the ceiling of the cabin, where it goes through a serious filtration process before being recirculated in the cabin. The IATA does not think it is a danger at all. So masks on planes seem to be more performative theatre than actual precaution. Your close but have your airflow backwards. In any case as I stated in another thread either everything iata is saying true or its not. If it is wearing masks is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post starky Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) As I have stated previously either everything stated here https://www.iata.org/en/youandiata/travelers/health/low-risk-transmission/ Is true or it isn't. If it is wearing a mask on a plane seems superfluous. Cabin air fully replenished every few minutes and hepa filters capable of removing 99.993% of all bacteria/ virus.

Qman Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I flew Thai Airways arriving on June 28 from Frankfurt to BKK and the English announcements repeatedly said you must wear a mask on the flight. I took off for eating and drinking and since it was an overnight flight and sleeping part of the time I also took off then. I don't think they hassled anyone not wearing masks and I noted most everyone was complying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two steps forward, three steps back? Wonder, how they want to enforce this? Also, what does that mean, wear a mask on the plane, but can take off when getting off the plane?

From what has been stated so far it would appear that some airlines “ suggest “ you wear a mask on the plane, others don’t. But , nearly all, requires you to wear a mask when deplaning at BKK , looks good on the news when they do their propaganda videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the part I really do not get, they require all to wear a mask, then feed everybody at the same time, when all remove their mask to eat and drink, making the wearing of a mask pointless in the first place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
