An echo chamber of tut tutters with insane COVID paranoia. ********************* A Wee Rant About the State of Travel
My understanding, from discussions those who know road warriors, is that travel has become even more undignified and stressful. My recent experience confirms that and suggests a lot is due to Covid. Moreover, many people make clear they understand that, yet they won’t wear masks!
My short version:
Note that on all my flights I wore a 3M Aura N95 in the terminal and put on my Darth Vader P100 on the plane. Only at most one other masked person on my flights, and not always an N/KN95. I also had my Aranet4 C02 monitor. It showed, despite airline claims about their filtered air, that C02 levels quickly rose to over 1300 (bad) and often to over 2000 (very bad) during boarding, would fall to at best barely below 1000 mid flight on moderately long flights, and then would rise again as the plane descended.
