From the Wikipedia article on Arturo Toscanini:
At the end of his final season with the Metropolitan Opera in May 1915, Toscanini was set to return to Europe aboard the doomed RMS Lusitania, but instead cut his concert schedule short and left a week early, aboard the Italian liner Duca degli Abruzzi.

As someone who, presumably, has never had someone literally vomit into your (unmasked) face*, you have no standing to comment in this thread, @Horace.
*1993, Sunday afternoon, ICU. Yeah, that was more than special.

On the bright side, it's not the worst way to get acid thrown on your face.

Can we just agree there are no good ways to have acid thrown on your face?
