The Influenza A (H1N1) situation is getting worse across the globe. In
Several weeks ago I wore a surgical mask when traveling by train. I wanted to do my part in slowing down the spread of the disease. Somehow, it was difficult to breathe with the mask sticking on my face.
On July 25, I flew from
The mask I used in the flight had a ‘metal arc’. This enabled it to stand away from my face, while at the same time provided a secure fit around the nose and mouth. Thus I was able to breath without difficulty. I can’t commend on the effectiveness, though.
If you plan to buy some surgical masks, choose carefully.
Thanks for sharing this. I will be travelling soon so will need to purchase some surgical masks.
ReplyDeleteI live with mask every working days, so it wont be a problem for me.
ReplyDeleteyaya, mask with "metal arc" is better choice. ^.^
N95 mask is the recognized type...
ReplyDeleteI read that wearing a mask is more when you have a cough or a flu. It prevents the virus from flying about when you cough or sneeze. But if one does not have a cough or a flu, is there a need to wear a mask?
ReplyDeleteThe Health Ministry advises wearing a triple-layer mask for its effectiveness.
My two cents.
I wear a mask too today...but then again...I'm not sure if it's effective?
ReplyDeletethey look pretty silly actually...

Doctors also wear masks, so are they silly.
Yeah, better wear mask and be safe than to be sorry. Although I was a bit lazy to wear one while onboard the AirAsia plane on my return flight from Guilin. Cos wanted to eat my lunch onboard : )
