Colorado mom reacts to being kicked off plane when 2-year-old refused to wear mask: 'Humiliating'
A Colorado mother who said she and her family were kicked off a United Airlines flight after her 2-year-old daughter refused to keep a mask on told “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Sunday that “the experience was absolutely traumatizing” and “very humiliating.” Eliz Orban took cell video on Friday of a crew member speaking with her husband as he was trying to keep the mask on their daughter. The video, which Orban posted on Twitter, shows her husband telling the crew member that he was holding the… (www.foxnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
masking a 2 year old is insane, unworkable
To all of you who are anti....covid everything.
Look, most of us are sick of the constantly moving goalposts, shut downs and general misery being perpetrated upon us by political fiat.
The bottom line is these air carriers are privately operated business entities. They are also licensed by the federal government giving them permission to ferry the public from point A and back.
The carriers have to concede to certain regulations in order to maintain operational status. Therefore those carriers will adhere to the orders of elected officials.
Bottom line, if one wishes to use air travel, they must comply with the rules and regulation. If they object, they are free to use other modes of transportation to reach their desired destination.
The rule is "each passenger aged 2 years or older MUST wear a face covering.
The adults should ( frequent flyers, they claim) have been prepared for any contingency.
QUite frankly, they had NO business taking a vacation so "the grandparents can see our kids".....And in my opinion, ALL interstate leisure travel should be barred until such time as mainstream people receive a Covid vaccine.
BTW, Qantas has fired the first "Vaccine salvo"...Their policy is once the vaccines become available through the general population, all travelers must provide proof of vaccination in order to board a Qantas aircraft. I fully expect US, Canadian and European carriers to follow suit.
No vaccine, not fly.

Here's a take that's bound to tick off both sides of the mask issue. First of all, the masks you buy at your local pharmacy or Walmart are not meant to protect you from getting COVID. In fact, I have bought masks where the packaging explicitly says this. What they do is keep you from spreading it to others by minimizing the amount of your own droplets that you may spew through talking, sneezing, etc. Why do you think surgeons and dental hygienists wear them? But you can wear masks all the time and still end up getting it. I personally wear a mask whenever I can't maintain physical distance or interact with anyone, because I'm not selfish like a lot of anti-maskers are. But the pro-maskers need to drop the "protection" bit. If you want protection, wear an N95 or higher-rated mask.
However, there's no need for a mask on a 2-year-old. Come on now.

It seems to me that it’s the airlines that have the temper tantrum problem.
These comments are why the US can't kick the virus in a nut shell. Self entitled people do most of the spreading of both the virus and misinformation. Liberty means that everyone has a right to their opinion, no matter how incorrect and damaging it is, but it also means that the virus wins. We can't beat the virus if we don't agree on our behaviour.
Covid is deadly. It spreads best in confined spaces and long duration increases risk making air travel one of the most dangerous activities these days that used to be safe. I applaud airlines that are effectively minimizing the risk. Folks, hang on (isolate) for another year and we'll beat this beast.
