I was stuck next to one who was screaming, squalling, coughing, etc. on a full flight.

They should at least offer plexiglass shields between seats if someone is traveling with a child too young to wear a mask and too young to have a vaccine, or prohibit kids under two, or offer a special section only for parents with very young children. I felt very unsafe, even masked.
