Airport Plague Nightmare

[unspeakablehorror]

Dreamed I was in an airport of all places (again with entitely made-up layout courtesy the architect of my subconscious), and had lost my backpack and somehow forgotten to wear a mask.  And no one else was wearing a mask (just like in real life) and a little kid was coughing right next to me and quite obviously sick and the parent was just fine dragging their sick child around infecting people with who-knows-what.  Of course I was quite relieved when I woke up to know it was just one of my "forgot to wear a mask" dreams.  

In real life I wear an N95 and faceshield in all public buildings or transit now and don't make trips unless their necessary.  I also rarely fly anymore ever since they added the body-scanners. I think there was something about how they phased out the ones that were irradiating people and showing actual body outlines, but the fact that they existed in the first place always undermined my confidence in those.  And yes, I know it was a very small amount of radiation and less than you get with flying.  That still doesn't make it okay lol.  Like, even from a practical perspective, that kind of device should be restricted to medical professionals, not random people.  Also believe there were reports that some people were irradiated with higher amounts of radiation either due to device malfunction or operator error.  I'll bet some people that happened to will never even know it was done to them for a completely unnecessary check.

Anyway, what we've learned is I'm not a super-trusting person when it comes to either covid or airports, and last night I had a very vivid dream featuring both.  Kudos to that subconscious architect though.  Excellent building design for my nightmare!
