Please remember:
If your mask does not cover both your nose and mouth, you are NOT wearing a mask

toxicodendron radicans

If your nose is uncovered, you are not wearing a mask.

If you’re wearing it under your chin like a fabric neckbeard, you are not wearing a mask.

If you’re wearing it around your neck like some kind of weird scarf, you are not wearing a mask.

Wearing those things is meant to protect others. A lot of people are doing a really shit job of that.

@InvaderXan

agreed, and to add to it

if the bottom is flapping loose enough that it full comes away from your face when you exhale you are not wearing a mask.

a face shield is not a mask.

@InvaderXan FABRIC NECKBEARD

(Which I admit to doing from time to time, but only outdoors when there's no one around so I can take some deep breaths.)

@ljwrites Yeah, it only bothers me when it's people sitting in train carriages like that. Which, sadly, is a thing a lot of people seem to do!

@InvaderXan yeah like why would they do that might as well put the mask away for all the good it does lol

@ljwrites @InvaderXan someone was doing this at the corner shop today when I went to stock up, and my only thought was "why are you even pretending to bother?"

@InvaderXan recent research also shows that it will protect yourself by deminishing the amount of virus you get into you, and as a result of that you get milder symptoms. 👍

@maloki Hmmm that makes sense. As I undertand it, a higher viral load is often associated with worse symptoms with most viruses. Figures this one would follow suit.

@InvaderXan the most absurd way I've recently seen is just across the nose, mouth exposed

@InvaderXan Legit saw someone outside of a hospital wearing it on their head. Strap around chin, mask on head. It's wild.

@InvaderXan
Omfg thank you. I still see so many people wearing them the wrong way! :angery:
