At that time I was one of the only people on the plane who had a mask at all, but I took it off entirely for eating and drinking. I put it back on when going to the lav or sleeping. I certainly hope that's how it's going to go for the time being until this "rule" goes away and you don't have some overly paranoid w@nker a few seats away raising a hissy fit over it.
