I’ve flown numerous times since March and I’m fine. You’re more likely to get sick in your local grocery store than an airplane.
Exactly.
I haven't flown since last December so I haven't gotten to see how bad it is on planes yet... but I do go to the grocery store a couple times a week and have seen multiple people touching the same products and fridge door handles, etc... like it's no big deal.
I bring this up because I actually looked into maybe flying back east for Thanksgiving or Christmas. My 2 vacations this year were cancelled so I have flight credits to use and read something from Delta about "no in cabin service to limit touching"??
Really?
So millions of people can go to a grocery store every day as mentioned above but Delta won't let a stewardess hand me a drink in a plastic cup?
Do the airplanes have the big circles on the aisle floor marked 6 ft apart like they do at the grocery store? I won't refuse to wear a mask, I just won't fly. I have no problem at all wearing a mask but I don't need to be instructed on social distancing practices like I'm a 3rd grader and have signs painted on the floor in 6 foot gaps.
This is actually comical. It's no wonder airlines are going broke.

They are going broke yes, that is exactly why they’re setting the safety standards. More people are nervous about flying because of the virus. They are doing these things to reassure people that it’s safe to fly, that they are taking precautions. There are many many more people who won’t fly because they are concerned about Covid, then who won’t fly because they are annoyed at the mask and distancing requirements.

Yeah makes sense... as I'm sure you can tell I'm in the latter group. Is what it is. I've worn the mask when required... like at grocery stores. There's a statewide mandate here from the governor but I work with a bunch of guys who share the same opinions that I do and they don't enforce it which is good... because working 8/10/12 hrs a day with a mask on might be OK for doctors but I'm not interested.
Been at work every day since the lockdowns began... no COVID. Guess I'm just lucky. The virus exists no doubt... I just consider it more a glorified flu than a world ending plague. If it were the latter we'd have a lot more than 230k+ dead and a lot less than 9M+ recoveries. To each their own.
May still take a holiday flight... an empty seat next to me doesn't sound all that bad. I'll just bring my own drinks.

See, your attitude does bother me in that you don’t wear it at work. I’m not sure what kind of work you do, but my fiancé is a commercial building contractor (tile), and he complains all the time that other workmen that are on a site with him do not wear their masks even though it is New Jersey state law. He doesn’t like wearing it either, but he does it.
