In Asia if you are not feeling well it is polite to wear a paper mask in public to avoid contaminating others. Does it help and why don't we do this in other countries?
People seem unwilling or unable to stay home or away from others when they are sick and it seems like covering your mouth is too much effort for most.
Yes I would wear one. Yes my kids would think it was fun.
Are we that vain as a people that our looks come before the health of others?
Most importantly does it help in Asia? Does anyone know?
