If you cannot wrap your head round that, then by all means take more precautions, but the rest of us are moving on.
Fine, but if *I* want to take more precautions, but YOU are sitting next to me maskless and infect me, I am the one who suffers for your selfishness if you infect me. i.e. your so-called freedom (because lets face it sitting for a few hours with a mask is not really a restriction on the same level as being stuck in bed/isolated with illness for several days) is clearly more important than MY (or my family's) health and wellbeing...
I'm not suggesting everyone stays locked away, but widespread 'low cost and discomfort' measures like continued mask wearing seem to be very sensible. Unfortunately they are most effective when EVERYONE (who can) wears them.
I really wonder how people with such a non-understanding of basic physics (because that is what infection transmission comes down to in terms of flow and momentum) can ever comfortably relax in an airborne aircraft!
