Question for my APAC expurts

YellowSnow

Why are face masks so ubiquitous in Asian cultures? I mean they are common place year round and not just in cold and flu season. Is is a reaction to living in high density thing- e.g., Tokyo, Seoul, Peking, Shanghai, etc? In Seattle this week, I've hardly seen a Caucasian wearing a face masks. Many folks of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc, ancestry are.

From what I understand, sick Asians wear them as a courtesy to others.

Because they are weird.

I wore a mask one summer when I was removing asbestos. Never before and never since. I remember people wearing them in 1981 after mt St. Helens erupted

Good times, man. Good times. Nothing like trying to sweep that shit - it was like fine silt. Then you'd try to spray it with a garden hose and it turned into this cement-like goop. My two dads eventually got the street in front of our house cleared out and dumped gallons of that crap in the front yard.

Good for the wheat crop in the 509 ultimately. Bumper yields after that.

I owned a chemical manufacturing company that produced both dry/dusty and VOC liquids that can kill you if not handled correctly. The threaded masks with nothing but a metal band across the nose and rubber band around your neck are worthless unless you are sick and trying to contain a broadcast sneeze. If you are wearing it to filter pollution I guess it can help but air is still getting around the edges. It ain't blocking everything.

My frat house was shut down due to asbestos a couple years after I moved out. You don't see me complaining.

That’s not true. I go to the post office daily. None of the workers wear one except on Asian cunt that has worn one fine probably September.
