It looks like masks are still going to be required on public transportation like planes and at airports.  That's the requirement that I want to see lifted because my wife and I want to travel out west (without wearing a mask on a plane).  I think businesses still have the ability to choose that customers wear masks on their property.

June 2nd in Ohio and I just read a news report saying that date may be revised and the restrictions may be lifted before June 2nd.

It is going to be a party summer!

We're almost there!

They do, and I imagine many will. 

Still having to wear them on a plane doesn't bother me much. Places like airports will be "hot beds" for continued spread because of the diverse crowds.

Airlines aside because they have us over a barrel but businesses that continue to require a mask will lose money right and left until they stop any requirements.  On top of that they run the risk of running off a lot of customers for the long term if they go above and beyond what is required.

Honestly, I’m a huge fan of the idea that masks should be required on airplanes from now on. Airplanes are gross. Pre COVID, I would almost always get some sort of head cold or something when flying. I’ve flown quite a bit since COVID wearing a mask and feel 100% when I get off the plane.

The ironic part is, when the cabin doors are shut and you are flying, that's about as safe as environment as you can get because of the air circulation... I am a big air circulation guy. Standing around the airport or boarding/unboarding planes is when you are susceptible. Unfortunately you can't have one without the other.

I just did the trek to Hawaii. You can do it. If that is the "sacrifice" you have to make to take a vacation, don't let that deter you.

Most likely. A host of states - even some of those you would describe to be more cautionary (eg. Minnesota today lifted their mask ban today) - as well as cautionary businesses like Trader Joe's is saying adios to the masks. The dominoes will quickly fall.

This, 100% this.

Ohio just lifted their mask mandate effective immediately.   This marks one of the few times in life I would actually consider going to Ohio vs staying in Kentucky, for a night out.

I agree.  I love KY but I am ready for some downtown Cincy time.

I think everyone is. Kentucky will soon follow suit.

Prayers to all the unvaccinated.

Time to move forward.

Flew to Florida last week.  Airlines still require the masks but are filling up those middle seats.  Our flight was 100% full.  Seems a bit hypocritical.

Florida is awesome!  There are very few masks around Vero Beach and it feels great to be acting normal.

It is time.

Great news Beechwoodfan and Airlines are special and pretty much get to do whatever they want whenever they want.
