Dallas Morning News ^ | 5/1/20 | Paul O'Donnell

Southwest Airlines is joining other major carriers in requiring passengers and employees who interact with them to wear face masks.

Starting Sunday, the Dallas-based airline’s employees who have contact with passengers will be required to don face coverings. Passengers will be required starting May 11.

JetBlue started the trend April 27 when it said travelers would have to cover their noses and mouths during trips, beginning next week. Delta, Alaska, United and American quickly followed.

You have a mental problem. I am begging you to please leave FR and go join your totalitarian comrades at Democratic Underground.

“Then don’t go visit. Leave me alone! I am not your slave to bend to your will. Everyone must suffer for your selfish fears?”

Fearing a LETHAL VIRUS seems pretty reasonable to most people. Perhaps you need a bit of help in trying to understand why you don’t fear it?

I wish I could. unfortunately it is a 3 day drive one way and I don’t have that long off work. Would also be worried about finding open motels on the way

I guess you’ll wear a mask every time a communicable disease breaks out, like we have every time before? Oh wait, we haven’t done that in a hundred years.

They prevent the spewing of virus-laden droplets from inside you if you are a carrier, and they also keep you from wiping your nose and mouth with your dirty virus-contaminated fingers.

Are you sure you’re a gas doctor?

Or they understand that even an N95 mask does not filter the virus particles, that there is no proof wearing a mask does anything, and that they may even be harmful

If they’re packed as tightly as an SWA 737 with recirculating air for 4 hours, then YES. I’m really not into getting sick, just to visit relatives.

Wear a mask if it makes you feel better. But how does MY not wearing a mask make YOUR mask ineffective?

So do the airline have the “right” to require all passengers to wear masks?

Or do you have the “right” to do as you please on their planes?

Maybe you have dial-up, but this site is low bandwidth:

By allowing you to SPRAY ME with your virons. That’s why FluBros are NOT tolerated in countries that have Coronavirus under control.

The FluBros are welcome to ‘resist’ when it comes to boarding airplanes in the US - but their results will be NO DIFFERENT than their ‘resistance’ regarding their dreaded TSA.

Bottom line is they’ll be charged with a FELONY if they try being cute while flying...and they (ultimately) know it.

One freeper said he “wanted more cases not less.”

His goal is to get everyone infected so the survivors can go on with their lives.

It’s the airline’s call isn’t it?

Does the airline have the “right” to require masks or not?

Lol. So you just admitted that wearing a mask is worthless because it’s not protecting you.

Or are you saying that the masks are only effective if worn by the infected? If so, by demanding everyone wear one presumes everyone is infected at which point, in the words of Hillary, what difference does it make.

And that would give you a delightful orgasm, I’m sure.

Seems to me that the airlines should have done this weeks ago.
