    I have mercifully not experienced that. Usually, I get stuck between two people with communicable diseases who missed the early childhood education experience of being told not to wipe their nose on their hands, cover their mouth for coughs, wash their hands etc. Fml.

      Yeah, that’s pretty awful. The pandemic taught us all that enough people are gross like that.

      At this point, I just assume that every airport is packed to the gills with coronavirus. I mask up, avoid eating with my hands, try not to eat much at all, and wash thoroughly. That said, I ate at a sit-down restaruant at O’hare this summer and immediately caught it anyway; my flight was delayed and i was ravenous.

        When I flew recently, I wore a mask fortunately but needed to eat on the plane so some mask-off time. I’m not sure the plague stuck though; I’m a bit under the weather but not as bad as my seatmates. 🤞
