I have a friend who's been flying with a versaflow (basically an extremely protective air filter, cause he's in contact with an immunocompromised person). He got on a

flight where they forced him to take it off... and then he caught covid from the plane.

Their stated reason was "if the oxygen masks drop you couldn't put them on in time" despite the fact it's extremely easy to whip the thing off if you need to, about as easy as a respirator.

and despite the chance of him or those he's in contact with possibly dying from covid being clearly greater than him dying from not getting oxygen on the plane

>"if the oxygen masks drop you couldn't put them on in time" Heard a similar reasoning from my doctor saying my 3M respirator and especially cardio in it was "inadvisable". But I can knock it off in a second in case of any respiratory distress
