Info Shave your Beard the CDC warns!

[13Gigatons]

Ha...too funny.
CDC warns men about facial hair dangers as coronavirus spreads

 

[zinfamous]

Oh man, I thought that one hairstyle was officially discontinued by humanity for...clear reasons, but here I see that it has been renamed: "toothbrush"

lol

also, both English and Dali could work, because as those require tons of wax, you just wax-shape your stache in a little curly-cue on your cheeks if you are suiting up for containment reasons. as long as it doesn't interfere with the skin barrier on the mask.

 

[WelshBloke]

Given that...

A) I dont think that I've ever seen anyone in public wearing a mask properly
And
B) Its not going to stop you catching this virus.

...I think that I'll keep the beard thanks.

I know i'm clueless about a lot of things but i had no idea there were so many different names for facial hair

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

So how can I combine cornavirus and making Cubanos into one thread?

Plus there doesn't seem to be "regular beard, like a normal not an arse person, would have"

They didn't list "The Homeless" either. Guess that means I'm ok.

Mine is "scruffy arse whose too lazy to shave".

 

[TheVrolok]

Yeaaaa N95s don't work over facial hair. They need to be fit tested to be worth their weight.

I refuse to shave my beard so I have to wear a PAPR in situations where I would normally need an N95. Yep. Badass.

 

[EXCellR8]

I'll take my chances and die like a man, not some Nancy boy.

Hair doesn't affect protective masks, so keep the facial hair.

[brianmanahan]

[snoopy7548]

What about women with facial hair?

Not only that but it is also listed as acceptable. Probably should have marked that one as no with a Really? underneath it.

What about women with facial hair?

They've got bigger problems than the CDC.

 

[randay]

guess ill have to call cdc to get clarification on the neck beard

 

[Red Squirrel]

I heard beards have so much bacteria in them that they will fight off any other bacteria or viruses that try to enter your system, so it acts like a shield.

Considering I'm sick right now I'm not sure how true that is though.

I was HAZMAT certified for more than a decade. FRESHLY shaven is (was?) a requirement for proper respirator fit...but given that the silly paper masks are NOT respirators, and that they actually do very little to stop the transmission of bacteria and viruses (virii?) a bit of facial hair isn't gonna natter too much. Are they better than doing nothing? Probably.

Anyone else find the right side pic a bit disturbing?


Also what self-respecting cat would allow that thing on its face for more then about 3 seconds?

 

[lxskllr]

lso what self-respecting cat would allow that thing on its face for more then about 3 seconds?

Communist cats obviously. No heroic American or European cat would be caught dead with that on its face.

The same one that is cool with being on a leash.

They show a little more subservience when they know they might be on the menu.

I will never shave my totally useless kinda frumpy beard! It hides my lack of a strong jawline.

I always thought the paper masks were to mitigate you infecting others.
