Air quality not great when boarding & waiting for planes to take off as I am now - you’re breathing a lot of other people’s exhaled air. As with buses, trams & trains, this is a v good time to wear a respirator mask. Protect yourself & others.

I declined a visit with family last week because they were visiting a premature baby in hospital & refusing to mask. Today I get a “good thing we didn’t visit you - super sick with flu” text. They’re glad they didn’t infect me because I’m vulnerable…What about the baby? #MaskUp#CovidIsAirborne
