It looks like I won't be killing my 97-year-old mother.

I flew from Boston to Baton Rouge on two Delta flights that made me feel safer than I expected. I was alone in my row. Everyone stayed masked. They handed out sanitizer twice. Snacks and bottle of water were all in one plastic bag I could sanitize. I wiped down the rental car.

No sign of damage from Laura in Baton Rouge (the parts I've seen).

I heard the orange doofus is coming down here. I hope he draws a tight crowd of maskless cult members.

take off the mask and you're on their future no-fly list.

I remember how concerned you were for your mother's well being in your last post. Sending hugs to you both

They need the passengers and if it means enforcing masks usage and extra sanitizing they'll do it to gain traveler' confidence. They'd rather lose the handful of anti-maskers than the millions of folks who want people to wear their masks.

yes indeed

I think people are tired of anti-maskers in general....the pandemic is hard enough on us without dealing with their tantrums.
