As twitter user @wsbgnl notes, the guidance on the CDC’s own website literally recommends to mask when traveling.
Why should I wear a mask when traveling if I don’t usually wear one in my community?
- Traveling can bring you in contact with people from many different places where viruses are spreading, including different COVID-19 variants and other viruses.
- Using public transportation and being in transportation hubs such as airports, can involve spending long periods of time in areas that may be crowded or poorly ventilated. This increases your chance of exposure to respiratory diseases.
- Wearing a mask during travel can also help protect others who cannot avoid being in crowded places when they are traveling. Some of these people might be more vulnerable, like babies under 6 months of age, persons over 65 years of age, or those with a weakened immune system.
I like how the implication from that last bullet point is that vulnerable people only exist in a vacuum at crowded places like airports. Wait until the CDC finds out that vulnerable people are everywhere!
And apparently the other two people are also high-ranking employees in the CDC.
Anyways, none of this surprises me, of course, I’m just venting.
