@dralexsundermann: Hygiene theatre is when people ‘clean’ or ‘protect’ something that creates an illusion of safety from a perceived threat. Are airline tray tables a threat? No. You are far more likely to get a respiratory virus on a flight than a bacterial infection from a tray table of which there are no peer review published studies showing as such. If you want, bring some disinfecting wipes on the plane with you which would be far more effective than this. And no, I am NOT selling you anything!

No mask? Whatever. I do wipe down the surfaces though. They’re rarely cleaned these days. The mask is going the heavy lifting though lets be real.

I feel like I’d also rather sanitize a hard surface than put a sleeve over it

Yes, because the 5 cents Amazon might pay me if someone who, by the way, ASKED for the link actually makes a purchase is totally what this is all about. 😂

Dr Handsome -- please mention N95 masks in this context in the future. Masking is the #1 preventive of COVID.

I wear a mask and wipe things with cleaning wipes because I'm immunocompromised. you would be DISGUSTED to see how dirty the cleaning wipes are after just wiping the area you sit in. they are NOT cleaning the planes

might you suggest that the one thing that every single person watching this video could do that is not theater is put a well fitted and 95 mask on. buy them anywhere.
