The media has been hyping this just like American media hypes whatever the latest calamity to assault us is. A quick look around my office right now tells me about 75% of the staff are wearing masks.

Well I seriously hope this starts trending in America. Nothing's worse than seeing someone loudly sneeze all over their hands and sleeves and violently rub their noses and then reach for a door, rail, or other object that others have to touch. I wonder how many people will stare at me or downright approach me if I wore one of those masks while out taking pics....
