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!
