1. tourism insurance. piss off.

   im already blowing thousands on tickets, trinkets, food.

   “ask” is acceptable.

   crying must is not.

2. Fair enough. You really don’t want to be stuck in a foreign hospital without insurance. Thailand does this also.
   As for masks, tourists are just being asked to do the same as the locals. It’s not like there’s any discrimination

3. What kind of idiot doesn’t get travel insurance?

   It’s not usually expensive, and sometimes is even included as a credit card benefit.

4. My whole family hasn’t worn a mask for over a year. Why make others when they can’t make us? I guess the good thing is they “ask”. It’s nice to see more and more people like us just living life happily. Unlike the reddit bubble.

5. Good idea in all cases. Some of them are probably not going to get that “wear masks” does not mean “when you’re all by yourself on a hike.”

6. Ironically I’m most concerned about travel insurance when I go back to the States.
