Brookland, Kent Feb 7, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - With the Venice carnival due to start in two weeks (8th February to 25th February 2020) there is a backdrop of confusion over the search for face masks. whether you are googling it or asking bing or yahoo, the term “face mask” has taken on a whole different meaning.
If you are concerned about the coronavirus then search for n95 respirator masks, if you are going to a Venetian ball then search for just posh masks!
With the coronavirus escalating, the press is reporting a run on face masks in the US, UK AND CHINA, with many outlets reporting shortages of these n95 respirator masks.
In a move that DONALD TRUMP would be proud of, TAIWAN have introduced a month-long ban on the export of these masks after fears of supplies shortages. with the virus accelerating this is a mega ugly health trade war that no one wanted to see.
Just posh masks are also seeing a run on its face masks, but this is because the Venice carnival for 2020 is about to start. we are hoping that the full face Venetian character mask with full Venetian costume will still be the order of the day in a couple of weeks.
Those that know the history of masks will know that there are some similarities with the current day coronavirus and the plague. plague doctors were medical physicians who treated victims of the bubonic plague. during the 17th 18th and 19th centuries, these doctors would wear a face mask with a long nose, which was filled with aromatic herbs. it was thought that these herbs would protect the doctor from the spread of the plague.
The n95 respirator masks are simpler, and more advanced than the doctor mask. these textile masks are thought to filter out over 90% of particles in the air and are thought tio be recommended for the current outbreak.
Whilst mask technology today far exceeds that of the 17th century, and no one would argue that the n95 respirator masks are better at protecting you than the plague doctor masks were, we can all be forgiven for thinking that today there is a feeling of déjà vu
