Not OP, but I still wear a mask on planes, wash my hands more often and more thoroughly, avoid touching my eyes, use more air filters, and don't share foods with my kids.
Same! Prior to the pandemic I almost always got sick post flight. I now wear a mask and take better precautions and all that and haven't been sick after being a lot more cautious about it. Frankly, worth it for me as I'd often end up miserable for weeks after a trip. Minor inconvenience of wearing a mask and being more aware of what I'm doing results in far less pain later.
And while kids often end up with just headache and slight fever that goes away after a day - adults end with at least proper flu (e.g. higher fever, joints/muscle pain ...) for a week or two.
The tragedy isn’t that we don’t wear masks routinely, it’s that people think they have a right to infect anyone because of their own sense of personal freedom.
Immediately when restrictions ended here, you could be in a large department store or supermarket and hear people coughing badly, or sneezing. If you know you feel under the weather, pop on a mask. But no, “freedom”, “it’s a conspiracy”. I swear “freedom” is just short hand for “I’m an asshole”.
