I was on a cruise last week and I finally got Covid.

Started feeling a scratchy throat on the plane home yesterday. Took a test last night, negative.

Mild cough today. Took another test. Positive.

Very very mild symptoms thus far.


Good luck, hopefully it doesn't get worse. I was on a plane yesterday for five hours.

How many wear a mask on a plane these days?

Some do, but not many.

I think it’s more than that. I was on a flight out of FL yesterday and I’d estimate it was about 15%

Let me guess: were a disproportionate amount of mask wearers Asian?

There weren’t many Asians on my flight that I noticed. But yes, Asians are absolutely more likely to still be wearing masks.

No, probably just intelligent.

Probably. Flight was on Saturday, literally started to get a scratchy throat on the plane. Tested when I got home and it was negative. Then tested positive yesterday. Still experiencing very mild symptoms - more annoying than anything.
