Neanderthals vs. "Science"

Once again -- after lockdowns and restrictions break the Covid wave and cause a steep decline in cases then you can ease up on the restrictions -- this is how proper public health policy driven by data works and is applied. If a new wave of cases occur then you will need to apply the restrictions again. This is especially true in Australia which has a "zero Covid" policy.

Once again, the lockdowns didn't stop the massive spike. Then the spike began to drop and they let "some lockdowns" lapse. The rest of the time they are quarantining people in COVID hotels and fining the unvaxxed.

Because the virus doesn't care about your stupid rules.

Airline CEOs moving over to the Neanderthals.

"After the hearing, American Airlines tried to walk back Parker's remarks. It issued a statement claiming that his concurrence with Kelly was on the point about the quality of the air in the aircraft cabin, not mask requirements."

Two major airline CEOs question the need for masks on planes

"Both Kelly and Parker, who each have announced plans to retire as CEOs in the coming months, mentioned that high-grade HEPA air filters on planes capture virtually all airborne contamination and air quality is helped by how frequently cabin air is exchanged with fresh air from outside the cabin."

Airline CEOs are trying to claim that HEPA filters make their planes perfectly safe. Scientists point to data showing they are wrong. Their own employees point out many planes are not even equipped with HEPA filters.

More rational committee members told the two CEOs to stuff it...

The remarks by Kelly and Parker were criticized by one committee member, Sen. Ed Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat.

"I'm shocked that some of the CEOs here today have suggested we no longer need masks mandates on planes," he said. "In the face of Omicron, children under five who still cannot be vaccinated....and that we still allow unvaccinated people on planes." He said it was "immoral" to take the position that people on planes could be forced to sit next to unvaccinated people who are not wearing masks.

Of course other rational people pointed out that airline travel would drop without the mask mandate.

Nelson said that the confidence in the safety of air travel is the reason people are willing to buy airline tickets in near pre-pandemic levels today. She said that the mask mandate is one of the factors leading to that confidence by airline passengers.
