Heard on the radio this week that the masks worn by Mexican citizens in all those photos offer no protection against airborne viruses. I had assumed that they were officially-distributed sanitary masks with proper filters in them, but apparently they are just bits of porous material. It seems the manufacturers of useless sanitary masks are profiting from the world’s superflu anxiety. Who did they sell them to before the advent of swine flu? Film extras? Halloween costumers?
My Dad has been making jokes about ‘oinkment’ all week. But he has canceled the family holiday to Barbados.
