Fashionable swine flu masks
May 23rd, 2009
The other day as I was waiting in line at immigration in Hong Kong observing all the swine flu masks, I wrote a quick twitter saying I wanted a an actual swine mask with just a snout to cover my nose and mouth. I quickly found out there is already such a thing, and not only that but a whole slew of designs for masks.
This girl Irina Blok is selling all these designs and giving the proceeds to Children International to help Mexico fight the swine flu epidemic:
And then there’s all this stuff:
However this blog had an interesting article quoting a specialist who explained that these masks couldn’t work because a reusable mask defeats the whole purpose of protecting yourself from germs!

Amazing show in Osaka last night! I haven’t even slept yet, just made it back to Nagoya!
I was the American friend of Chaki who DJed after you. I did my small MC part for the song we made. You asked what it was called, and dunno if you heard, because of the sound, but it is called “Stay Faceless”!
Enjoy your day off in Osaka!
Yo biiiiggg track!!! Found it on mediafire.
The Lowbrows myspace is pretty spiffy too. Thank you Trizz and T-Atom bro for all the great music.
the use of face masks and boosting your immune system by taking lots of vitamin-C is still an effective way of preventing the spread of the Swine Flu virus.
i always advice my kids to wear face masks when going into crowded areas. swine flu is really scary and i dont want my kids getting infected by it.
H1N1 or Swine Flu is a bit scary but it a good thing to note that this virus is not that very deadly. .
One of my sisters got infected with H1N1 or more commonly known as Swine Flu. Fortunately, she did not have very high fever and she was able to recover fast .

If you look at the pandemic of 1977, when H1N1 or Swine Flu re-emerged after a 20 year absence, there is no shift in age-related mortality pattern. The 1977 “pandemic” is, of course, not considered a true pandemic by experts today, for reasons that are not entierely consistent. It certainly was an antigenic shift and not an antigenic drift. As far as I have been able to follow the current events, the most significant factor seems to have been that most people, who were severely affected, were people with other medical conditions.
i think that in asian countries the Swine Flu did not spread rapidly compared to those countries that are located in colder climates. we should still be very thankful that the swine flu did not cause massive infections.
We should be thankful that the swine flu did not spread very rapidly. it is not very deadly like Ebola but swine flu can still kill you.
I’d this similar subject recently. Around my occurrence, the very best solutions are patient and confident. Face it bravely, and you may be alright now.
swine flu scared the hell out of me when there was mass infection of this virus,..
Wanted information on that. I wrote it off as merely another expense, but I am about to take a look at it all over again.
