@gary_kelly, SouthWest CEO, masks are essential.

Hospitals have excellent filtration at 6 to 16 ACH.

Doctors still get infected even while wearing surgical masks, because CoVid is airborne.

And airplane filtration often fails.

Even on SouthWest.

Did you know that we can roughly measure how much of other people's lung contents we REBREATHE with every breath?

CO2 is an excellent stand-in for the respiratory aerosols that were just in your fellow passengers' lungs.

The more CO2 measured,

the more CO2 AND respiratory aerosols you are breathing in.

For example, 3700 CO2 measured is 8.6% air REBREATHED.

Like if you put your mouth over a buddy's nose and huffed in 10% of his breath.

8.6 % of every breath that was just in someone else's lungs.

Mr. Hayward happens to be an Indoor Air Quality expert.

Who happened to 'enjoy' breathing in his fellow passengers' lung contents on his SouthWest flight.

1600 - 3.1% of the other person's Delta-flavored breath (bet you are very happy that Southwest is not in the Greek alphabet. )

3.6% of omicron organic goodness.

Please stop opposing masks - and wear the best mask possible.

For you, I'd recommend the envomask.com for the professional look.

For your kids?

Flomask.com.

Cheers!
