Please remember:
If your mask does not cover both your nose and mouth, you are NOT wearing a mask
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.
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?"
@swift @InvaderXan talk about virtue signaling
@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
@lastfuture Oh, come ON!
@InvaderXan Legit saw someone outside of a hospital wearing it on their head. Strap around chin, mask on head. It's wild.
@InvaderXan fabric neckbeard
@InvaderXan
Omfg thank you. I still see so many people wearing them the wrong way!
