Hopefully, the deniers will start to take this more seriously.

It's truly unbelievable that we aren't all on the same page here.

It's like 1918 with the advantage of 100 years of science. We know what to do.

I've had 2 people tell me it's fake... I then tell them that my daughter had it. It's amazing how quickly their tune changed. Eyes big as saucers, mouth wide open... "I'm sorry, how's she doing?"

I hope they rethink their own realities

This whole mask thing is really unbelievable. I could see things going how they are now in the US if it was the only country infected. So many other countries have got covid under control with masks and social distancing.

I miss being around people and touching each other, having a social life, travelling and all the things I used to do. Summer is almost over and I've done nothing but hang with you guys lol, I think the isolation is making me a bit crazy. There's no way in hell I'd give up my summer to be part of a global conspiracy to make sure trump isn't reelected.... it's truly asinine that folks actually believe that.

Today is the second day in a row that Ontario reported fewer than 100 new cases. :)

I am taking an airplane flight next month. I plan on wearing my n95
Mask and a surgical mask on top of it. I will also wear a hoodie . I am contemplating between a number of face protective device but what I really need to know is , do you think wearing one of those one time paper Like surgical gowns would be overkill ? I would put it on just before entering the airplane and rip it off as soon as I get off. Thanks in advance .

Since the airlines have stopped leaving the middle seat empty I couldn't see why more protection wouldn't be better. @curious2garden has been preaching hard about adding eye protection to your PPE. Probably not a bad idea to make sure you're wearing them too.

I think the gown will be not very useful. Upping your face game to a full respirator plus eye protection will most reduce your chances of catching the crud.

If I were embarking on airplane travel I would purchase a full face respirator.

Saw some people wearing masks with an exhaust port. What selfish bastards. Those ports don't filter your breath, they just make it easy to exhail and keep your glasses from fogging up. They are meant to protect the person wearing one, not those around you. Sure, it might contain droplets from a sneeze, but cough and breath droplets are flying right out.

If your glasses are fogging up, breath is coming out and not properly sealing. I don't see much of a difference.

The ones I've seen like that had activated charcoal filters.

And they encouraged you to buy extra filters which started to look like a mask money maker so I didn't get one like that.

There are a hell of a lot of people not wearing them correctly out there. Nose exposed and other stupid shit.

I watched a lady keep pulling hers down to order stuff at the deli counter at Giant Eagle. I wanted something there but skipped it and went in the other direction.

Thank you all for responding and the wonderful suggestions.

They did take out the middle seat on my flights.
And I do have a P100 filter mask I can upgrade to from my N95.

I will also bring disinfectant wipes and wipe the seat down before I sit in it . I will make sure I go to the Airport restroom before the flight so that I do not have to use the Airplane restroom.

When the plane lands should I try to get up and out as fast as possible or should I patiently wait until everyone gets off and then get out?

No need to be in a big hurry at that point. Just keep calm and maintain as much distance as possible while exiting.;)
