Respirator Mask
Masking Against Mexican Swine Flu
In these times of swine flu everyone’s wearing masks. Great time to rob a bank. Nobody would know who the robbers were because all the masks seem to be white.
I have not seen any coloured masks or decorated masks so they are hardly a fashion item – yet. Maybe someone will introduce a fashion range of masks.
The social implications of a global masking are interesting. For example before you kiss you have to lift up your mask, hardly romantic. And they are handy if you want to avoid someone especially if you wear a big mask and dark glasses.
It’s a bit like everyone is wearing a new type of yashmak and we are all making eyes at each other.
The most frightening thing I’ve seen is bearded men wearing masks. It really looks weird with all that hair protruding from them.
And what about pets. Can they catch the flu? If so, are there pet masks available? Is there an emergency plan for pets and other animals.
Do masks actually prevent catching the flu? Actually there is no clear proof they do. Government and health authorities say wear them but washing hands is probably more important.
It’s generally agreed that respirators are far more effective. They fit like face masks and are designed to filter small particles whereas plain masks only prevent droplets.
Mind you I would be glad to be wearing a simple mask if someone coughed or sneezed over me.
They say there is no cure for the swine flu – not yet. In the meantime I think the best thing to do is keep fit. Eat well and eat good nutrious food.
Losing weight would also be a health boost.
I’ve also had my annual flu shot. It doesn’t stop swine flu but if you don’t catch the normal flu at least you are keeping strong and better able to resist infection.
All we can do it aim for prevention and keep ourselves fit. That goes for our pets too.
