Last night I had boarded a flight out of Philly and one of the flight attendants almost cause a riot. She was clearly very low experience and was making some of the announcements and obviously reading from their script. She finished one announcement and started her next announcement which was the announcement about the REQUIREMENT to wear masks at all times. She even got as far as the part about you must only remove your mask to eat or drink and you must replace it immediately. She realized what she was doing and eventually stopped in the middle of a sentence. She made no apology, no explanation, no back pedal. The interesting thing was the reaction I observed from the other passengers. I think we got close to a mutiny on that plane. It does concern me a little that American Airlines still has that in their library of announcement scripts - like they are ready to pull it back out at a moment’s notice. But the reaction on that flight and my observation that the masktards are outnumbered at least a thousand to one at airports tells me that people will not stand for it if they try that crap again.

To be fair, I often saw Asians wearing masks BEFORE covid.
From my understating, it's a cultural politeness to wear a mask when you yourself don't feel well.
Plus, if I lived in an area with the population density of Tokyo, I'd probably wear a mask too.
Maybe it's cultural hallitosis.
They eat a lot of fish, so it might be cat breath.

For the record… People in Japan do not eat cats. How is it that in the year 2023 people can be this uneducated.
😂 😂
I mean, that would ALSO be considered politeness. 😅
After the SARS scare in 2002, many people in Asia got used to wearing masks. Now it’s common for everyone to wear them on public transportation during cold and flu season, for example.
