Apoorva Mandavilli reports mostly on COVID-19 for the New York Times, and she’s tweeting live from JFK to let you know how many old “nosers” are in line for her flight. She says she’s less worried about herself than some of the unmasked, but it sounds like she’s pretty worried. A lot of people are upset that the airline isn’t strictly enforcing mask rules.
In line at JFK, once almost a second home but where I haven’t been in almost 2 years.
Person behind me and in front of me both maskless and 5 people with masks under their noses.
Make that 6. No, wait, 7.— Apoorva Mandavilli (@apoorva_nyc) December 6, 2021
I’m less worried about myself and more about some of the unmasked. Quite a few of the “nosers” look the be 60+, some easily 70+
And btw, the Emirates person who would presumably enforce this has her mask well under her nose— Apoorva Mandavilli (@apoorva_nyc) December 7, 2021
now I see multiple @emirates employees wearing masks under their noses and shouting out instructions at the maskless older people. And one said loudly, “if you have a problem with it, call and make a complaint.”

If you’re wearing a N-95, which I assume you are, then you’re fine. Stop worrying about the other people.

Never go out again. Problem solved. I assume by your fear you're not vaxxed and boosted.

You should definitely put a clear bag over your entire head when that happens.

I’m sure the people who you are counting don’t give a shit about your opinions related to their masks.
Pretty telling that the older folks she mentioned are breaking the “rules.”
They are fed up too… https://t.co/YGEyyfDuLm

Isn’t everyone going to remove their masks when eating and drinking on the flight? Well, almost everyone.
