nglodnig Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) But, unbelievably, I was sat in the middle of three seats and have a (slight) cough. The bloke next to me asked if I would mind if I wear a mask and said yes I would(mind), I tested myself for Covid (recentl and yes it was negative) , this is a just bit of catarrh from my hay fever/asthma and not infectious. I said I would wear a mask when I get outside but see no point in wearing one inside the (hopefully filtered) plane. He got the hump and moved seats giving me more room. Must remember to do that again. ???? And of course greeted with 400-500+ (Aqicn) SMOG which is "merely" down to the two hundreds this afternoon. Wore a mask whem cycling, first ever I've done this, I am often here February/March but never felt the need before.

cmjl Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 We were very glad we left CMX just after lunch today,the 1st photo was taken coming in to land at CMX on 14th March the 2nd photo was taken today after taking off,the 3rd photo is looking down on the pollution and the 4th one is coming in to land at DMK today,the 5th was taken leaving DMK on the 14th March(as a comparison)..Like nglodnig, I to have been having problems with catarrh for the last week or so,I've also been feeling slightly ill which I suspect is the effects of the smog,we're off back to the problems in the UK next week - but at least we won't have to contend with the awful pollution you have here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiejohn Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 For the OP; How did you measure the height as exactly (ok approx) fifty meters while on an angled descent? Seems strange as I have been clearly watching aircraft climbing away from CNX airport all day today which is 5 km away and they are definitely more than 50 meters above the ground. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have to zero above the ground to qualify as a landing. It;'s called a guess for the purpose of the post.

Maybe he did not want to catch a cold from sitting beside someone coughing and was not inclined to just believe that it was allergies? Don't blame him for moving away from the coughing farang. How about just show a tiny bit of common courtesy like many asians have done for decades and wear a mask if you are coughing in public especially if asked politely to do so in an enclosed space like an airplane? 6 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted April 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2023 Lack of consideration for others is an attribute of many. Is it such a burden to wear a mask for an hour when someone else requests it, because they are concerned you are a plague carrier? Whether the plane has filtered air is irrelevant, the pathway between your exhalations and a person sitting next to you is what's at issue. Do you speak sufficient Thai to explain you are not infectious? Unbelievably selfish. 10 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was sitting next to you on an airplane and you were coughing and hawking catarrh I would ask you to wear a mask. If you refused I would be tempted to suggest to you that you were a dirty, self centered, self entitled so and so!

Utterly inconsiderate of the OP to be coughing in a closed space without a mask. You thought like that before as well? I do not care if people around cough me, as before 2020 you did not care as well. Either my current immune system is strong enough to deal with it, or it will get trained. Especially kids should get as much contact with pathogens as possible. That is why Japanese people if they are getting sick they always get sick very seriously and for a long time. Please do not tell me they have the oldest people of the world, they just started wearing masks some decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
