Another reason to not fly during the pandemic

[Klaus]

How about giving each passenger a real FFP-2 mask that must be worn during the flight, together with thorough disinfection of relevant body parts before the mask is removed?

How about if I just drive. I am fortunate that I enjoy long car trips. What I never liked about flying was there was usually no sense of the journey. You just get on the plane and voila, you are there.

Well, that alternative won't work well for a 10h flight.

I knew that (it says so below the stack). I was being sarcastic.

Ditto to all the above. We won't be flying for a long time yet. Driving isn't perfectly safe either with restrooms, etc. , but it's better.

That is scary stuff. I fortunately have not had a long flight in a while.

I've been waiting to get over to the UK for ages to help sort out my mum's house - I still don't feel like risking it.

Yeah, try telling my bladder it has to wait while I find an outlet near the toilet, or set up an extension cord to run that thing before I can pee. Good luck with that as a gal pushing 60 who's been on the road for several hours after a large coffee.
