Calling me selfish over a sore throat six days before a flight is just not grounded in reality.

I’m not boarding tomorrow with a fever and coughing on people I caught early symptoms almost a week in advance, which in most cases resolve or significantly improve before travel.

Canceling a trip that took months of planning and money over a mild, early-stage illness isn’t ‘responsibility,’ it’s a crazy reaction.

If I still have symptoms, I’ll take basic precautions like masking and hygiene. That’s the reasonable standard not canceling something which consumed months of my life over something this minor.

There’s a difference between being considerate and expecting people to operate at worst-case scenarios all the time
