Good on you! The mask is a public health issue, not a political statement.

HIPAA is a law designed to safeguard medical communications and that's it. An airline is not covered under HIPAA, except as an employer dealing with employees.

As a doctor, I can tell you the HIPAA law prevents me, as a doc, from discussing your medical care without your consent. It does not bar the airlines from asking YOU to prove your medical exemption. In fact, the ADA doesn't either. The ADA requires public entities to provide reasonable accomodation for disabled folks, but not private businesses. Nor are those private businesses expected to provide any accomodation outside of proof of disability. If you have a breathing condition outside of anxiety that makes mask wearing difficult, you are at a higher risk of Covid complications and have no business leaving home, let alone sitting in a plane.

LOL, we have 4% of the world's population and 30% of the Covid deaths, and even those are undercounted.

Cancer kills many ppl, yes. Usually after treatment-surgery, chemo, radiation therapy-and after months to years. Covid has killed 76,000 after weeks. Covid patients die alone in the hospital. If you can't see the difference, I can't help you, you are regurgitating a political talking point without critical thinking. The economy is made up of people and most, Repub, Dem, and independent, are too frightened to go out, regardless of whether the stores are open or not. If you think it is reasonable to open, it is not unreasonable for me to ask, which two family members are you willing to sacrifice? After all, Lt Gov Dan Patrick has already said ppl over 70 are willing to die for the economy, even as he sues the state of Colorado to be allowed to "ride out" the pandemic in Gunnison. So, who is it? And, are you going to flag this comment as "inappropriate" after you've essentially told me, an ER doc, that you are willing to let me die? Snowflakes come in every age, but they have one thing in

SMH. All the "strawman" arguments invoked by the mere mention of a 16 year old. I'm thinking many of you agree with her but you can't voice your aupport for fear of losing tribal membership.

The irony in your statement is hilarious.
