I know the virus is being made to be a bigger deal than it actually is, but I have a 5 month old at home. I'm seriously considering wearing a mask and just dealing with the looks. I'll be going through the international terminal.

I don't think walking 3 feet out of your way to avoid them or sitting 2 seats over instead of 1 is going to save you . That shite is in the air.

You realize the regular flu is more deadly than this virus right?

Media exaggerating as always

It would be called self preservation. If I was Asian and say a Korean I would have a bigass shirt on that said "It's Ok, I'm Korean"

Ummm.... no... no it is not. This virus is several times more deadly than the normal flu.

You realize it kills the infected at a tenfold rate of the flu?

I dunno, maybe. But it would definitely prove that you're one of the millions of sheeple that the American media manipulates at its whim.

Honestly, it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to wear a mask. That being said, I am overly cautious when it comes to my child.

Trust me, Asians could care less what you do or don’t do. They mind to themselves and don’t know what ‘being offended’ means.

If more Americans adopted their culture, the country would be a better place.

How would it be racist? Are you declaring that they are somehow an inferior race? No.

I heard it will help strengthen your baby's immune system to introduce it to different things. You are doing it a disservice to not bring home the wild bat stew flu.

Funny that all this shite comes from them and they come to the US and act like it’s a third world country.

If I had posted this I’d be ridiculed and called a pussy.

For the record, I am 100% with the OP. No need to take any chances.

I'm flying out of SFO on Monday. It's full of Chinamen. I'll be on high alert.
