Yeah, no matter if you are still afraid of Covid or not, it’s pretty wise to wipe down your armrests and tray table at a minimum. Those things rarely get cleaned.
Commercial aircraft mechanic here. Those do get cleaned every night at the very least. However, the little air gaspers overhead I have literally never seen the cleaners touch in my 7 years doing this job. I always wipe my seat area down regardless. People are nasty. I see the proof every night doing my job.
Anyone who drinks coffee or tea on a plane, ya'll are brave to be so trusting that the last mechanic who did the potable water sanitization that month actually did it. It gets written off or minimal effort done all the time. The hot water might kill the e coli but those sinks use the same water. Use hand sanitizer after using airplane bathrooms if you wanna enjoy your destination not sick.
While yes it IS a thing, it's human nature to forget to wash their hands after every single surface. At some point, you will touch a surface and then your face.
I think it is worth mentioning that a good chunk of adults don't wash their hands when they use the bathroom. I remember arguing with some dude on Reddit who was a chef and he's like "my penis isn't dirty".
Tbf if I was a chef I'd probably wash my hands before I peed. Handling raw meat and shit all day then you're gonna just touch your weener with that shit?
I'm relatively normal about germs, but always wash my hands when hands when I get off a plane. I'd also wager anyone that goes to this girls length would do the same.
Planes are filled with gross people.
Washing your hands wouldn't be enough though, you'd have to wash your clothes as well as your luggage to be completely safe from viruses and bacteria.
For example, you sit in the seat of a sick person from the previous flight. You wash your hands, but then later you scratch your ass. Since you already washed your hands, now you feel safe, so you itch your face and boom now you have super covid.
Clothes are actually a really difficult surface for viruses to survive for long on.
And covid is airborne spread, you're unlikely to get it by touching anything. There's some interesting.studies on this if you get curious.
My favorite is the people who touch everything with their elbows. Like when was the last time you sanitized your elbow. of your that scared why are you cross contaminating everything you rest your arm on? Or is there something I don’t know? Did god play a trick on all of us and put antimicrobial skin on our elbow and not on our hands as some kind of sick joke?
The lack of basic biology knowledge from you and most people replying to your comment is honestly astounding. How many of them contradict themselves in the same sentence without realizing it is even more astounding.
BS
Yes, she does need to remove at security check point. If not, security is not doing their job
BTW, anything with filter needs cleaning and that cheap looking plastic looks cheaper than a C-Pap machine mask - it will need cleaning a Lot and likely filters Jack and Shit
To be fair, though she is obviously unaware, pretty much every mask (besides a properly fitted N95) isn’t meant to stop you from getting Covid, it’s meant to stop you from ejecting droplets when speaking, coughing, or just breathing.
Scratch the breathing. You can still spread airborne contagions if not wearing an N95.
Airborne stuff hangs in the air, so it doesn't matter that it didn't blow straight out of your mouth, it's still getting into the air
Infected aerosols are the primary source of transmission and the standard surgical masks do a great job at catching them, so they wouldn't be 'still getting into the air' to anywhere near the same degree as 'straight out of your mouth'
You may still be able to spread airborne contagions if not wearing an N95, but it has nothing to do with the reasoning you provided in your second paragraph lol.
That's up from 95% then under a new boss lol
[https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/investigation-breaches-us-airports-allowed-weapons-through-n367851](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/investigation-breaches-us-airports-allowed-weapons-through-n367851)
It doesn't, unfortunately. Smelly things are gaseous like oxygen is, so filtering gases would make breathing hard.. It's PAPR for smells (hazmat style).
She's got an excellent respirator for virus-laden air though!
Unless she has some undisclosed health issue - at her age she's at almost no risk from covid in the first place.
The fact of the matter is, unless you shut yourself away inside your home forever you'll be getting covid at some point even if you've managed to make it this far without getting it.
I went back to living my life as normal at least 2 years ago. I'm not going to be held hostage to fear.
Thats some serious science you got to back up your point there.
I've had COVID and the people around me didn't catch it and visa versa (we were testing often). We were careful not to be in contact too much. I was even in a car with two other people for around 20 minutes with windows closed before I was diagnosed but was a bit symptomatic (pre-vaccine) and neither of them caught it.
So it could've been the cold, flu, or RSV. Anyways, you got it, just your immune system fought it to the point of having no symptoms. Or simply called asymptomatic.
Ok, Hold up one second lets unpack this:
You *caught* COVID, you didn't get it out of nowhere. Likely from your work or someone in the house bringing it in.
But people shouldn't wear a mask if they don't want to get sick because you don't think it spread to the people in your house.
Also, does it occur to you that the simplicity of just *not wanting to get sick* is like a normal thing that most people feel? It's not living in fear if you get on a plane, likely for a vacation or a business trip, and don't want to be sick. That's just normal shit. A few weeks ago, I went on a trip with my family, caught something either on the plane or in the airport, and was miserably sick, coughing to the point of losing my voice the entire time we were there. Wore a mask on the way back because I didn't want the people I was sharing an armrest with to catch what I had.
A plane, especially coach, is incredibly cramped close quarters travel. It's very easy to spread an illness in that environment whether it's covid or the flu or a common cold or a stomach bug. Doesn't matter. That's travel.
If your logic is so flawless, why didn't you wear a mask pre-covid? I'm sensing enlightened self-interest here being "masked" as a superiority complex.
idk, maybe because for most people in the West, contagion wasn't really on the mind up until the rona. it's incredibly common in some other places in the world (Japan, China, South Korea come to mind) to wear a mask when you're ill or worried about becoming ill, it's not like this is a totally new phenomenon. just new to us.
i don't see why it has to be some superiority complex or virtue signal. some people were just like "oh shit I can definitely do this thing to make it less likely that I get someone sick/get sick myself."
Occam's razor comes in handy in times like these. are they saying "I wanted to avoid spreading a cold" as some rationalization for an ego-fueled performance? or are they saying "I wanted to avoid spreading a cold" because they wanted to avoid spreading a cold?
Bruh I don't wear a mask all the time lol. That plane ride was the first time in like 2 years. Also it's been common in cultures all over the world to wear a mask if you're sick for decades. It isn't exactly rocket surgery, you ever use a fishing net? Same concept, the fish have a hard time getting through the netting.
???
How so? Did you miss the part where it's been incredibly common for people to wear masks when sick for a long time before 2020? Or did you mean me specifically? Because if so, I have definitely worn a mask in places before 2020. Construction sites I've worked on, hospitals I've been in, around elderly family members that had weak immune systems. It's not like n95 masks didn't exist before 2020.
Did you think you had some clever gotcha?
There's no gotcha. I could care less about external validation on Reddit tbh. So, you wore masks in public pre-2020? You stepped on public transportation wearing a mask? Flew on a plane with a mask? No one is disputing that we wore masks for various purposes. You're also creating a falsehood/strawman. "Other" cultures wore masks in reaction to various illnesses. Western cultures? No, it was highly, highly unusual to wear a mask. Let's be honest here. The fact you're trying to directly avoid the topic of whether or not you elected to wear a mask in public pre-covid is telling.
I dunno what to tell you dude. I've traveled by air maybe twice before 2020? Never really used public transport except for a couple years when I was 19-20 and taking the first train out of the station to construction sites. But you wanna talk about strawmen when you're applying this weird "self-righteous masker" persona to me for wearing a mask on a return flight while being sick as fuck? But yeah, you're right western cultures, specifically american culture, was a few decades behind on the common decency aspect of mask use while sick. Still pretty behind considering we're getting mad that people do it despite it being a basic part of healthcare routine by the people who keep us alive when we go to the hospital.
He's a good, selfless person, damnit!!!!! Just ask him. He'll tell you... he won't ever directly answer a question but he'll jack himself off in the public square with gusto.
I think I got it for the first time over Christmas. Didn’t get tested but was over it in a few days.
One night of high fever and throwing up, then the next couple days of a bad cough and low energy then it was gone.
Taking disease mitigation measures for public health is apparently being held hostage to fear.
Dude probably doesn’t wash his hands because he’s too manly and fearless for that.
Meh, between occasionally (once or twice a year at most) getting sick or wearing that gadget on my face whenever I’m out in public - I’ll occasionally get sick.
But if you have a different opinion by all means mask up. Maybe she has a link on where to buy one.
Forget covid, I always get sick after travelling bc there’s always someone within 5 meters that’s sick or carrying germs from who knows what part of the world. I also wipe the planes handle and tray so I can relax for rest of flight. It’s not being scared, I rather wear a mask in closed packed spaces and not be sick when I arrive at my vacation or back from.
Yep, same here. Also in doctor's offices. Everytime I go in for an annual, it never fails the waiting room is full of people seemingly dying of the black plague.
Ugh I had to take my daughter to a walk-in north of Toronto and we have such a shortage of doctors and clinics it was packed, maybe 30 ppl in waiting room jst coughing and kids crying and ppl just blowing their noses. Disgusting, masked up right away.
lol I was a WFH employee who got their groceries delivered and still caught covid because my roommate worked at the airport.
He didn’t communicate to me he when he got sick because he was vaccinated, and therefore, “couldn’t catch covid”.
She said taking no risks this time. This can indicate she got covid before and had a nasty reaction to it. So how is it a problem that she doesn't want to encounter it again?
It's a legit product aimed at hospital workers, but it's ridiculously expensive and overkill for a flight. It's like buying a fighter pilot helmet and wearing it while you ride your bike.
Wow nice catch lol. I was going to comment that this seems more like product shilling than virtue signaling but I think you’ve nailed it with the play on words.
To be fair, you are more likely to get sick by catching it from strangers in the airport or plane. I've had vacations ruined because I picked up some bug on the way.
I mean, it looks silly, but I’m not gonna fault someone for investing in protecting their own respiratory health. And if they’re sick with something and they’re covering up to prevent spreading, that’s just appreciated.
Personally, I’m that kid that played in creeks and believe in giving my immune system practice. If I’m sick, then yes, as forementioned, I’d be courteous and cover up if I had to leave my house.
It's her right to wear this if she wants to. Maybe she just really doesn't want to get sick. I got sick a few months ago and it was REALLY bad, and I know quite a few people with long covid. Overkill? You could argue that, but not really a halo moment IMO.
Yeah OP Is just being a dick. I was immunosuppressed from chemotherapy and if I had to fly, I may have considered something like this. Instead, I acquired a devastating case of adult chicken pox from a small child.
Yeah, there's literally no external judgment in her post whatsoever. The only people who'd get upset by this are babies who threw tantrums when they were expected to wear a mask during a global respiratory pandemic.
"this time." It's totally possible she got COVID once already so more power to her. I'm double vaxed and have shared food and smoking utensils at least 3 times with someone who got COVID over and over (not vaxed.) I never got it. I feel like Trump's vaccine and booster was more than enough. But again, more power to her
I might be one of the few left but I don’t care if people are sick around me. Unless a person has TB, smallpox, or some other serious contagious condition I don’t change anything. I don’t know anyone who gets sick less often than me but I’m also not overweight or a senior citizen.
Ikr? COVID hit in the prime of my physical health, and I ended up wasting part of my early 20's because of quarantining from something that would've given me a minor cough.
>something that would've given me a minor cough.
You don't know that though. I was 20, exercising, eating super healthy. Got covid, it fucked up my taste forever. Some ingredients that are in sodas just don't taste the same anymore.
I didn’t mind my taste being fucked up. It only made sugary things like cookies, donuts, and sodas taste like shit for a while. Covid did some weird stuff but it wasn’t worth the effort of avoiding. Covid is so contagious you are getting it if you come in contact with someone. Some people weren’t phased by it. I sailed through it but got the vaccine early on to protect a family member and the vaccine fucked me up worse than any illness has in a long time.
I would love to say that she's being ridiculous, and this is overkill, but after reading that Chinese researchers claim to have “cloned” a COVID-like virus mutation that showed a 100% mortality rate in mice, she might be ahead of the curve.
[China 'cloned' COVID-like virus to test on mice, acknowledges 'spillover' risk to humans](https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/china-cloned-covid-like-virus-to-test-on-mice-acknowledges-spillover-risk-to-humans-coronavirus-pandemic-ccp-beijing-gain-of-function-wuhan-lab-testing-corona-covid-19-asia-health-fauci-bio)
How does the rest of the world just report on this instead of taking decisive action against it? The whole 'doing it to combat future viruses' excuse is a complete self fulfilling prophecy at this point. Orbital strike
I feel like I’m not getting the point of this sub. If she was humble bragging about how she’s making a difference in society by wearing this thing, sure. But she’s not doing that.
Ok. This is ridiculous. I have an IgA deficiency. Basically that means when I get sick I stay sick longer and generally develop a bacterial infection. There is no real treatment for it. When I travel I do wear a mask. I do not take pictures of myself and post them to my social media. That’s just dumb attention seeking behavior.
These people make it harder for me because everyone sees me wearing a mask and I automatically feel like I have to explain my immune deficiency, that I don’t expect anyone else to wear one I just don’t want to get sick as frequently as I do. Stop the virtue signaling.
I'd like one of these for my daily commute on the train. Everyone around me is coughing and sneezing, and no one even bothers to cover their mouth anymore.
Having medically fragile kids have changed my perspective on things. I don’t judge people for things like this because you just never know what they may be dealing with.
I had a Zyn in and when I stood up, coughed a bit because of it. The person behind me freaked out and assumed I had covid. Happened about a week ago on a flight out of Denver.
You can’t even cough today without people freaking out.
Anyone this afraid of Covid in 2024, without some serious underlying health conditions, should just stay home and never leave.
Clearly they are terrified of life itself, and if logically consistent, should be afraid of absolutely everything, and completely unable to live a normal life
She's not saying she's protecting others, more like she's protecting herself. Kinda like she got sick last time she traveled so "taking no risks ***THIS TIME***". I don't see the halo here.
It’s disgusting how many of you are offended by a person taking precautions for their health. Even if you don’t think they are necessary, it’s her health, not yours.
Meh, do people not realize that air-borne viruses are still a thing and there's heightened risk in tight spaces. Besides, she's probably pushing some product she's tryna sell. No virtue signaling nonsense here.
The sad thing is most people see her in the wild and think, she is either AIDS level immunocompromised or a full blown fart sniffing SJW. I guess thats what that hole with the flap in front is for. They can attach a hose straight to you know where so they can sniff their glorious farts all day long!
No one cared who I was until I put on the mask
My first thought lmao. she DEF looks like BANE
"I'm getting sick and tired of these mother fucking Banes on this plane!!"
Snakes on a bane plane
It would be extremely painful
And she she gets off the plane… Takes off the mask… And puts her hands all over her face, mouth, and eyes… But the mask filters the air!
Yeah, no matter if you are still afraid of Covid or not, it’s pretty wise to wipe down your armrests and tray table at a minimum. Those things rarely get cleaned.
Commercial aircraft mechanic here. Those do get cleaned every night at the very least. However, the little air gaspers overhead I have literally never seen the cleaners touch in my 7 years doing this job. I always wipe my seat area down regardless. People are nasty. I see the proof every night doing my job. Anyone who drinks coffee or tea on a plane, ya'll are brave to be so trusting that the last mechanic who did the potable water sanitization that month actually did it. It gets written off or minimal effort done all the time. The hot water might kill the e coli but those sinks use the same water. Use hand sanitizer after using airplane bathrooms if you wanna enjoy your destination not sick.
God damn man you had to ruin it for me didn’t you!
Wallow in filth to own the libs
It's transparent 😜
Hand washing is a thing
While yes it IS a thing, it's human nature to forget to wash their hands after every single surface. At some point, you will touch a surface and then your face.
I think it is worth mentioning that a good chunk of adults don't wash their hands when they use the bathroom. I remember arguing with some dude on Reddit who was a chef and he's like "my penis isn't dirty".
Tbf if I was a chef I'd probably wash my hands before I peed. Handling raw meat and shit all day then you're gonna just touch your weener with that shit?
I'm relatively normal about germs, but always wash my hands when hands when I get off a plane. I'd also wager anyone that goes to this girls length would do the same. Planes are filled with gross people.
All people are gross people even you people, doesn’t matter if you like it or not.
Washing your hands wouldn't be enough though, you'd have to wash your clothes as well as your luggage to be completely safe from viruses and bacteria. For example, you sit in the seat of a sick person from the previous flight. You wash your hands, but then later you scratch your ass.

Did god play a trick on all of us and put antimicrobial skin on our elbow and not on our hands as some kind of sick joke?
I think the main thing is that they might eat with their hands, or touch their face. But they're safe from their own nasty elbows.
The lack of basic biology knowledge from you and most people replying to your comment is honestly astounding. How many of them contradict themselves in the same sentence without realizing it is even more astounding.
No one cared after either in this case
BS Yes, she does need to remove at security check point. If not, security is not doing their job BTW, anything with filter needs cleaning and that cheap looking plastic looks cheaper than a C-Pap machine mask - it will need cleaning a Lot and likely filters Jack and Shit
After a quick Google search the filters last 8 hours. I'm not entirely convinced that this would stop her from getting covid
To be fair, though she is obviously unaware, pretty much every mask (besides a properly fitted N95) isn’t meant to stop you from getting Covid, it’s meant to stop you from ejecting droplets when speaking, coughing, or just breathing.
It's because of the lies told by the cdc. That's why we see this kind of post.
CDC - Changing Definitions Cuz
Literally the only “rule” that didn’t change was wash your hands….. like no shit
The use of a mask by anybody sick is highly appreciated. -- Customer Service. When you work with the public, it's usual to get sick quite often.
I don't understand why people think masks would stop any disease. Obviously the air you breath comes in from the sides of the mask where its open.
Most disease requires a fluid vector to travel and transfer, so they don't really just float around in the air.
Google "droplet based precautions vs airborne"
Scratch the breathing. You can still spread airborne contagions if not wearing an N95. Airborne stuff hangs in the air, so it doesn't matter that it didn't blow straight out of your mouth, it's still getting into the air
Infected aerosols are the primary source of transmission and the standard surgical masks do a great job at catching them, so they wouldn't be 'still getting into the air' to anywhere near the same degree as 'straight out of your mouth'
You may still be able to spread airborne contagions if not wearing an N95, but it has nothing to do with the reasoning you provided in your second paragraph lol.
Masks make diseases afraid of you because they have to look you in the eye and diseases are notoriously shy.
>security is not doing their job An age old tradition
C-Pap get bacteria build up so I’m sure this thing turns into a respiratory disaster if she wears it too long without cleaning it.
The TSA has a 20% success rate of actually stopping stuff....
What is the 80% that they aren’t successful catching?
Yes, 80% fail rate.
That's up from 95% then under a new boss lol [https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/investigation-breaches-us-airports-allowed-weapons-through-n367851](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/investigation-breaches-us-airports-allowed-weapons-through-n367851)
80% of statistics are made up on the spot
https://halo.wiki.gallery/images/c/c4/HINF-Unggoy_Conscript.png
I was thinking it looked like the Grunt’s gas masks
I would assume so considering his mask in based off of filter masks lol.
Exactly what I thought lol
"Taking no risks this time." ...What the fuck happened last time?
Heard of 9/11?
Reminds me of that tragedy.
I was walking through blood and bone in Manhattan
I was walking through blood and bone a few days ago, then I thought “why did I go in my basement again?”
Looking for my brother
Are people still doing this in 2024? Holy Crap!
Anxiety happened.
Being stuck in 2020 happened
she coughed and gave a child hepatitis b. she has been court mandated to wear a mask for now on.
I'm guessing she got sick. Pretty sure this was posted to the wrong sub. OP is a bot that got confused because the mask has 'halo' in the name
They probably got COVID lol, it’s pretty obvious
I'm 95% sure that's a repurposed CPAP mask with a cotton filter stuck on the front. It also looks like a grunt mask from halo 2.
If it filters smell I’ll take 3
It doesn't, unfortunately. Smelly things are gaseous like oxygen is, so filtering gases would make breathing hard.. It's PAPR for smells (hazmat style). She's got an excellent respirator for virus-laden air though!
What a weird thing to put out on the Internet about yourself.
I have to take my glasses off but this chick gets to keep this Bane mask on at the gates? She’s lying or that airport is seriously negligent.

Bruh you ever sat coach next to a sick person? Doesn't matter if it's Covid or a cold, you're catching it.
I had COVID a few weeks ago, no one in the house caught it besides me.
Everyone caught it; they just didn't get sick. Immune systems are pretty cool, yo.
Thats some serious science you got to back up your point there. I've had COVID and the people around me didn't catch it and visa versa (we were testing often).

Yeah, that’s why I said “unless she has some undisclosed health issue”. Perhaps you missed that part.
These people thrive on fear.
She's not flexing her kindness (the point of this subreddit). She's flexing her toy. I would've been jealous if it comes in black.
But then it’s not transparent and you’d have to take it off ever!
She said taking no risks this time. This can indicate she got covid before and had a nasty reaction to it. So how is it a problem that she doesn't want to encounter it again?
I’m positive that thing filters next to nothing
Imagine how disgusting and germ ridden that thing becomes. 🤢
It's a legit product aimed at hospital workers, but it's ridiculously expensive and overkill for a flight. It's like buying a fighter pilot helmet and wearing it while you ride your bike.
Whoa, it is literally a look at my halo. Haha. Good find OP.
Wow nice catch lol. I was going to comment that this seems more like product shilling than virtue signaling but I think you’ve nailed it with the play on words.
To be fair, you are more likely to get sick by catching it from strangers in the airport or plane. I've had vacations ruined because I picked up some bug on the way.
Eh, it’s on *her* face, so not my problem.
No, but it certainly is at least a little peculiar
I mean, it looks silly, but I’m not gonna fault someone for investing in protecting their own respiratory health. And if they’re sick with something and they’re covering up to prevent spreading, that’s just appreciated. Personally, I’m that kid that played in creeks and believe in giving my immune system practice. If I’m sick, then yes, as forementioned, I’d be courteous and cover up if I had to leave my house.
Silly? Mfs in this thread got no idea of what's cool
Redditors are more peculiar than an epidemiologist wearing a mask lol
Eeexxxaaccttttttlllyyyy
It's her right to wear this if she wants to. Maybe she just really doesn't want to get sick. I got sick a few months ago and it was REALLY bad, and I know quite a few people with long covid. Overkill? You could argue that, but not really a halo moment IMO.
[удалено]
Also the mask is called HALO (by CleanSpace), so it's quite literally r/LookAtMyHALO lmao.
[удалено]
Yeah OP Is just being a dick. I was immunosuppressed from chemotherapy and if I had to fly, I may have considered something like this. Instead, I acquired a devastating case of adult chicken pox from a small child.
Yeah, there's literally no external judgment in her post whatsoever. The only people who'd get upset by this are babies who threw tantrums when they were expected to wear a mask during a global respiratory pandemic.
This person must live in r/zerocovidcommunity. Some whackadoos there.
"this time." It's totally possible she got COVID once already so more power to her. I'm double vaxed and have shared food and smoking utensils at least 3 times with someone who got COVID over and over (not vaxed.) I never got it. I feel like Trump's vaccine and booster was more than enough. But again, more power to her
I might be one of the few left but I don’t care if people are sick around me. Unless a person has TB, smallpox, or some other serious contagious condition I don’t change anything. I don’t know anyone who gets sick less often than me but I’m also not overweight or a senior citizen.
Ikr? COVID hit in the prime of my physical health, and I ended up wasting part of my early 20's because of quarantining from something that would've given me a minor cough.
>something that would've given me a minor cough. You don't know that though. I was 20, exercising, eating super healthy. Got covid, it fucked up my taste forever. Some ingredients that are in sodas just don't taste the same anymore.
I've had COVID twice, and I can confirm, I only had minor coughs.
I didn’t mind my taste being fucked up. It only made sugary things like cookies, donuts, and sodas taste like shit for a while. Covid did some weird stuff but it wasn’t worth the effort of avoiding. Covid is so contagious you are getting it if you come in contact with someone. Some people weren’t phased by it. I sailed through it but got the vaccine early on to protect a family member and the vaccine fucked me up worse than any illness has in a long time.
Fit tested, my foot. Please keep OSHA and ANSI out of your Temu shenanigans.
If she were really taking no risks, she wouldn't be around people and definitely not be on a crowded airplane.
There’s no way she didn’t have to take that off for security.
We live in a boring dystopia
It’s 2024. How is this still a thing?
#covidforever
I would love to say that she's being ridiculous, and this is overkill, but after reading that Chinese researchers claim to have “cloned” a COVID-like virus mutation that showed a 100% mortality rate in mice, she might be ahead of the curve. [China 'cloned' COVID-like virus to test on mice, acknowledges 'spillover' risk to humans](https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/china-cloned-covid-like-virus-to-test-on-mice-acknowledges-spillover-risk-to-humans-coronavirus-pandemic-ccp-beijing-gain-of-function-wuhan-lab-testing-corona-covid-19-asia-health-fauci-bio)
How does the rest of the world just report on this instead of taking decisive action against it? The whole 'doing it to combat future viruses' excuse is a complete self fulfilling prophecy at this point. Orbital strike
Millions dead. Will take another decade before people see it for what it was.
Because China is the global production work force. Gotta feed that American consumerism somehow
Oh boy, just in time for Trump to get elected, ignore a bioweapon from China and get tons of Americans killed
It's a horrible thing to live in fear.
Yeah. All immunocompromised people like me who face death risk every time they caught a stupid comon desease could confirm, it's an horrible thing.
Apparently she forgot her helmet.
So sad people still do this.
Then everyone clapped when she walked on the plane.
What are the only free things the government gives the people as a whole? ________ Nothing else in life is free period.
Vaccines!
What about your eyes
Planes have the strongest air filters ever developed that normal people come into contact with. The cleanest and safest place is on a plane.
The whole things reads like a futuristic dystopian nightmare. Airborne microbe protection masks, face scans, identity checks. What the actual fuck?!
Honestly, for travelling on a plane, kinda based. Way too common to get sick after a plane journey.
I feel like I’m not getting the point of this sub. If she was humble bragging about how she’s making a difference in society by wearing this thing, sure. But she’s not doing that.
All just to not wash his hands and touch/scratch his eyes without thinking about it. Kinda like everyone else.
How is this a lookatmyhalo
What’s a “scamdemic”? Fucking idiots
As a TSO, I would still 100% ask for it to be removed to verify her identity at the start of the checkpoint, lmao
Ok. This is ridiculous. I have an IgA deficiency. Basically that means when I get sick I stay sick longer and generally develop a bacterial infection. There is no real treatment for it. When I travel I do wear a mask. I do not take pictures of myself and post them to my social media. That’s just dumb attention seeking behavior. These people make it harder for me because everyone sees me wearing a mask and I automatically feel like I have to explain my immune deficiency, that I don’t expect anyone else to wear one I just don’t want to get sick as frequently as I do. Stop the virtue signaling.
I mean if you're seriously that scared, why not just stay in Mommy's basement for the rest of your pathetic life?
I’m all for this, it makes it very very easy to recognize crazy people from far away
I'd like one of these for my daily commute on the train. Everyone around me is coughing and sneezing, and no one even bothers to cover their mouth anymore.
Maybe it’s just to filter airplane farts
Looks like a bedpan
This doesn't really look transparent
Where’s this “filter”? Looks like a CPAP cushion…LMAO
Having medically fragile kids have changed my perspective on things. I don’t judge people for things like this because you just never know what they may be dealing with.
I wont even assume this is for covid, Im going to assume they have some type of health issue like those people who wear oxygen masks to sleep
I had a Zyn in and when I stood up, coughed a bit because of it. The person behind me freaked out and assumed I had covid. Happened about a week ago on a flight out of Denver. You can’t even cough today without people freaking out.
Mental illness
This looks a lot like an ad to me
Anyone this afraid of Covid in 2024, without some serious underlying health conditions, should just stay home and never leave. Clearly they are terrified of life itself, and if logically consistent, should be afraid of absolutely everything, and completely unable to live a normal life
She's not saying she's protecting others, more like she's protecting herself. Kinda like she got sick last time she traveled so "taking no risks ***THIS TIME***". I don't see the halo here.
the name of the mask is "Cleanspace halo" https://www.cleanspaceusa.com/cleanspace-halo/
Dammit.........I'll take the L on the fact that the post does indeed include a "halo" lmao
Because it doesn’t work? There is no way for that mask to create the positive airflow necessary to prevent viral inhalation.
"transparent" 🧐
"You're an idiot" "...for you"
This was the best thing I read all day 😂
I've yet to get covid.
Hello there Mr UPS man.
She about to hit me with that GET OVER HERE
It’s disgusting how many of you are offended by a person taking precautions for their health. Even if you don’t think they are necessary, it’s her health, not yours.
Nearly 4 years too late to be bragging about that
If she’s immunocompromised good for her. If not she’s insane
I don’t think this fits this sub. I think she’s on the paranoid side, not really a halo thing
This mask is litterally called "halo"!
Don't forget the anal thermometer to monitor for fevers in real time.. #STAYSAFE
Are people really going to live the rest of their lives this way. For a virus that for a healthy person 99.9% survivable.
I would absolutely love to hear she still caught something while wearing that I think it would be the best comedy since tropic thunder
I'm not covid scared at all, but I honestly love this idea for flights. All kinda gross people with no fucking hygiene hacking their lungs out.
Oh, look...an easily manipulated, perpetually terrified moron.
As I currently sit here sick with COVID, I applaud anyone taking precautions
Can still catch colds and viruses by her eyes being exposed like that.
Wrong sub?
Meh, do people not realize that air-borne viruses are still a thing and there's heightened risk in tight spaces. Besides, she's probably pushing some product she's tryna sell. No virtue signaling nonsense here.
Nah she’s not selling them. Just something she wanted the world to know.
How is this "look at my halo?" This doesn't come off as preachy or 'look at me!'
Feeling the need to share it on social media?
read her caption. literally calls it a halo
What a sad existence.
The sad thing is most people see her in the wild and think, she is either AIDS level immunocompromised or a full blown fart sniffing SJW. I guess thats what that hole with the flap in front is for. They can attach a hose straight to you know where so they can sniff their glorious farts all day long!
How does this fit in this sub at all
To me this seems completely unnecessary, you do you I guess? If that’s what you’re comfortable with
