The Mistake Made by Asians with Masks By Brian Simpson

     It is surprising that the magazine American Renaissance (“Asians are soooo much smarter than us”) is not jumping up to advise, but I guess they feel no need to, knowing their place in the great chain of being. I have in mind face masks, and anyone walking around town, waiting for the inevitable zombie apocalypse will see many friendly people donning surgical masks. But these are useless against air borne viruses:

“Can wearing a medical face mask protect you against the new coronavirus? It's a question many people, including pet owners who are putting canine face masks on their dogs, are asking. If it's a regular surgical face mask, the answer is "no," Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious-disease specialist at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, told Live Science. A more specialized mask, known as an N95 respirator, can protect against the new coronavirus, also called 2019-nCoV. The respirator is thicker than a surgical mask, but Schaffner doesn't recommend it for public use, at least not at this point. That's because, in part, it's challenging to put these masks on and wear them for long periods of time, he said. Specialists receive retraining annually on how to properly fit these respirators around the nose, cheeks and chin, ensuring that wearers don't breathe around the edges of the respirator. "When you do that, it turns out that the work of breathing, since you're going through a very thick material, is harder. You have to work to breathe in and out. It's a bit claustrophobic. It can get moist and hot in there," Schaffner said. "I know that I can wear them when I need to for about a half-hour," he added. "But then I have to go out of the isolation room, take it off and take some deep breaths, kind of cool off, before I can go back in." While it is possible to buy the N95 respirator online, Schaffner advised against it. For one thing, there are just seven cases of coronavirus in the United States at this point. Meanwhile, influenza will infect, hospitalize and even kill thousands upon thousands of Americans this year, but most people aren't thinking of taking the same precautions for that illness, he said. Furthermore, while there is no shortage of the respirators now, there could be if too many people unnecessarily buy one, Schaffner said.”

     Well, I did a quick search on eBay, there were some pricey N95 masks, but I did find one for $ 29, or $27.26 for four or more if you want the whole family to join in the fun of the moral panic of playing apocalypse.
It may be possible to simply forgo breathing external air at all and go scuba, having air tanks on one’s back. That will rule out things like talking, eating out etc., which could be an improvement in social relationships. Yes, the mighty eBay has got them too, with lots of different colours. With all the plugs we give firms at that site, more than the mainstreams media, surely, we should get some sort of commercial sponsors?

     Good grief! There is one old guy using a half orange as a mask, another a ten-litre water bottle, clear plastic bags a plenty, a cut down bra cup, and so on. I was hoping to see someone wearing a cat, but no luck!
