Sporadically I just look at my sisters and wonder what the hell is wrong with them.
They are seriously intelligent and capable human beings…
For the most part. And then there are certain areas of life where I have no method what they are thinking or doing. They make undoubtedly stupid decisions based on avoiding their concerns and it is difficult for me to respect their preference for ignorance over making informed decisions. This is why I was seriously exasperated with my sister Last weekwhen she decided she was going to hop on a plane and take a trip to a warmer weather conditions… Don’t get me wrong, the outdoor air temperature around here is not great. It has been bitterly cold, windy, and snowing for several weeks already. Nobody is cheerful with being perpetually chilled. I do not care about the feeling of our forced air oil furnace running non-stop, either. However, I also know better than to jump on a stuffy, unventilated airplane with our new situation with the virus pandemic, but when I tried to talk to my sister about the dangers of taking this trip to a warmer weather conditions I was shocked with her response. She looked at me innocently and suggested that airplanes entirely have some of the highest quality indoor air, right? No… those metal tubes that fly through the sky have rudimentary ventilation systems with basic air filters. Otherwise, they are circulating the same indoor air that all the people has been breathing for hours on end. There is no fresh air, there is no HEPA air filtration system, and there is no UV disinfection to eradicate viruses. Why on Earth would you assume that this was a smart idea?
