You might not get I’ll from the person at the other end of the plane, but the 6-10 people in your immediate vicinity have a cloud of lung fumes around them which can get to you before the filter.

I don’t understand why people don’t wear well fitted masks on mass transit — I’m not interested in my holiday being ruined by catching COVID from some rube next to me on the bus/train/plane
