Summary
A woman was surprised when flight attendants handed out masks and sanitizing wipes on a flight from Anchorage to Tennessee, sparking anxiety about the recent hantavirus outbreak. She was the only one wearing a mask on the plane. Experts stress that this is not another COVID-19 pandemic, but rather a low-risk outbreak that requires prolonged close contact to transmit between people.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Masks are back, but only for some. The anxiety is real, but the risk is low. Hantavirus is not COVID-2.0, but it’s still a thing. People are still getting sick on planes, and masking is still a good idea. But, you know, social norms.
The routine arrives with confidence, but only for the prepared.
