Cant help with answers to your Question. and I somewhat understand your concern given the current Corona Virus deal, But... when I encounter someone wearing a mask the first thoughts to my mind are A: is this person protecting themselves from outside exposures? OR B: is this person Sick and trying to not infect those around them???
I don't fly a lot and only Domestic, and don't recall having someone on a flight wearing a mask. wrong as it may be... if you sat next to me wearing a Surgical Mask I think I would be very uncomfortable ! RT
