1. This country is being dominated by the Immoral Minority

2. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[blm]

4. Yup

[senseandsensibility]

10. Yeah, they threw fits and acted like babies

so let's allow them to set the rules? Insane.

3. I flew home yesterday from the Caribbean through Miami

and would say about half of the passengers on my planes and in the terminal at Miami were wearing masks.

5. Do you have a link? I keep hearing people say masks are unpopular

[AZProgressive]

9. Not sure about the OP but I did see this poll

Link to tweet

Depending on what the OP poll says CNN did say a majority of Independents oppose it so I hope the OP is correct.

12. I saw it presented on CNN by their

Medical expert.

23. Looked online and can't find it

so I edited the post.

6. If 71% of Amercans wore masks, we'd be in good shape.

[tymorial]

7. You wouldn't know it here

Rhode island is extremely blue and no one is wearing a mask. I am often one of maybe 2 or 3 people wearing masks whenever I go out.

11. For travel

The poll is not about mask mandates in general. It's about the public transportation mandate that just got struck down by Clarence Thomas Jr in Florida.

17. The majority still mask at my grocery store

I also live in a very blue area.

8. All I can do is simple

First, fly only when absolutely necessary. I gave up on the airlines a long time ago. When I was younger, flying was fun and a little sexy. Today, it's worse than a crosstown bus. Both the airlines and their passengers mostly suck.

Second, on those occasions when I have to fly, I double mask and keep to myself. I'm normally an outgoing person but these days I try to stay in my little bubble. Not much more that I could do.

13. "a little sexy", LOL

I remember when flight attendants were treated like sex objects instead of actual workers.

[senseandsensibility]

14. Well, that part definitely wasn't good

but the rest of it was.

[PJMcK]

16. That's not what I meant!

But you're correct about the treatment of stewardesses, as they were called back then. I believe flight attendants today have better working conditions but tougher jobs.

What I meant was that it was a bit seductive for the passengers.

[Skittles]

24. it was also unaffordable for many to fly back then

yup

18. The latest Axios poll that I could find

The latest Axios Covid poll that (4/12) I could find doesn't ask that question. Poll responses seem to show that "policy preferences around mask and vaccine requirements are loosening, matching actual behavior."

https://www.axios.com/axios-ipsos-poll-most-americans-say-covid-is-no-longer-a-crisis-6604f7d2-a476-48eb-8e2d-9cb94c425159.html

The number of Americans who support their state or local government requiring masks in all public places has also dipped below 50% for the first time – now, 44% support such a requirement, down from 50% last month and 67% at the beginning of the year (during the height of the Omicron variant).

One exception to this rule is the public’s view of requirements for healthcare workers. Two-thirds (65%) support requiring all people in a healthcare setting to be vaccinated against COVID-19. This number has not changed over the past few months, possibly indicating the public holds healthcare workers to a different standard than they do the broader population.

20. I saw it live on CNN a few hours ago.

The medical expert, Elizabeth Drew (I think was discussing it). They had a screen size graphic up about it and I focused on the numbers because they were a little shocking to me.

[teach1st]

21. I did find this

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2022/04/21/americans-favor-mask-mandates-on-planes-and-trains/

An AP-NORC survey conducted during April 14-18 and released on April 20 lays out the details. Since last August, support for masking in the workplace has fallen by 18 points; in concerts, movie, and sporting events, by 13 points; in restaurants and stores, by 10 points. An Axios-Ipsos poll released on April 12 found that just half of Americans now favor requiring school students, teachers, and administrators to wear masks, down from about 7 in 10 last fall. The only exception is airplanes, trains, and other forms of public transportation, where support for mask mandates has not budged. Today, 56% of Americans continue to favor requiring masking for travelers, compared to only 24% who are opposed, and strong support for this measure is more than twice as high as strong opposition.

22. I looked for a link and couldn't find it

so I am deleting. Will repost if I find the link.
