New York Times COVID reporter counts the 'nosers' in line at the airport along with the maskless

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.

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

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

Terrifying! You really don’t have any confidence in your vaccine, do you?

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.

Since there is no scenario you’ll ever feel safe again, does it really matter…. https://t.co/4KBiOJ0eUG

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