I fully endorse the idea that each person should make his or her own decision about wearing a mask. Frankly, I am never again going to wear one. In all circumstances I find them suffocating and intolerable on an airplane. Sleeping on a long haul flight with a mask on is nearly impossible. Nobody should be forced to wear a mask on the false claim that "it protects others". If the "others" want more protection, by all means wear two masks...one to protect yourself and the second to compensate for those not wearing. Viola! I have been avoiding LH because of the mask rule and glad to see it over. I won't get into the science that casts serious doubt on whether masks do any good at all.
