Imagine going on a flight with air stewardesses all wearing surgical masks. That is the prospect greeting air travellers on board Asian airlines these days. It will definitely be a very surreal experience to go into a plane and see rows and rows of passengers in surgical masks. Even if you are not sick, you might even be hesitant to even leak a cough or risk having yourself treated like a leper by your fellow passengers.

This is the kind of fear medieval people faced during the Plague. I'm glad I won't need to be travelling for some time.
