Masks in an airplane are beyond incomprehensible stupid. 100+ people exchanging quarts of air with each breath in a cylinder maybe three times that volume. Within 10 minutes, all the air will have been breathed in and out a dozen times.

Nope. Some quick research on air flow within commercial aircraft would put your concerns to rest. The cabin air is much cleaner, and refreshed much more than you'd expect.

The article says the air is replaced every 3 minutes. This video of vaping with a mask shows how much is exhaled with each breath. How many times do you and the one or two people sitting next to you exhale in 3 minutes?

Indeed, if the air is so fresh and recycled, why is smoking and vaping disallowed?

Draw your own conclusions. The implication was that airplanes are some kind of sealed tube with only recirculated air in a closed loop. I pointed out that it's not. It's at least as well exchanged as any environment you're likely to encounter.

They're not some uniquely dangerous enclosed air system. It's up to you to decide what you want to do.

Well... but I can't can I? I thought masks were mandated on most airlines. So, my only choice is to make fun of the sheep and not fly -- which I'm doing. :-)

I'm not concerned about CCP virus in the first place. I'm concerned about all the sheep not seeming to have the will or the intelligence to figure out what is going on.
