A little off-topic ... but funny story!
I've been flying WN for about a decade now. 5 years ago, I received a very successful kidney transplant. Of course, my anti-rejection meds significantly suppress my immune system, making me much more susceptible to catching colds, flu, etc. So, when I fly, I wear an antibacterial face mask to protect myself from all the germs the rest of you are breathing on me!
It is humorous to watch how other passengers avoid the seat next to me when they see the mask. More often than not, if there are only two middle seats open … one next to me (with my mask on), and one somewhere else … they will look at both seats, look at me in my mask, and generally choose the other seat.
