The local CBS channel in the area of Palm Beach points out that the lawsuit alleges that Flight attendants kicked Clay Reading off the plane because he was constantly removing his mask to drink water, due to a health issue.

The passenger said, according to the lawsuit, that she needed to drink water frequently because of heart problems, severe hypoglycemia, claustrophobia and blackouts, all of which were triggered by wearing a mask.

• Germany exceeds 200,000 coronavirus infections in one day for the first time
• The world registers a new record of daily cases of coronavirus, with 3.8 million infections

According to the lawsuit, after a lengthy conversation with a flight attendant about his mask issues, Clay Reading was forced to leave the plane.

The plaintiff stayed “confused, shaking, crying, unable to breathe through her nose and hyperventilating”, the lawsuit says.

The media unsuccessfully tried to get a reaction from the company but got no response.

The protocols to avoid infections of covid-19 during flights have triggered an increase in incidents and violent acts on aircraft.
