The CDC released an infographic Wednesday with 36 different styles of facial hair ranging from stubble and soul patches to more eccentric styles, such as the French fork and the Zorro.Each style was assessed for how likely it was to interfere with facepiece respirators, which are commonly being used across the world as a preventative measure. Of particular concern, according to the CDC, are facial hair styles that can potentially interfere with the respirator’s exhalation valve.
Among the approved facial hair styles are the soul patch, side whiskers and the pencil moustache. More common styles, such as stubble, full beards and extended goatees, are considered potentially problematic. COVID-19 has killed more than 2,700 people worldwide and infected more than 80,000 others since it emerged in China earlier this year. In Canada, at least 11 cases have been confirmed in B.C. and Ontario.Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggested Tuesday that
Just ASK the UNEMPLOYED OIL/GAS WORKERS-they know all about how to PROPERLY wear a mask-maybe HIRE THEM to SHOW general population?& tell CDC to PAY them FAIR wages too..
I feel so attacked right now.
So glad Hitler could wear a mask effectively. WHO THE HELL HAS WORN A 'TOOTHBRUSH' SINCE 1945?
Hitler's pinch approved 😂
This is xenophobic
These two are definitely not approved by CDC.
Looks like the toothbrush is due for a comeback. Wildly and deservedly unpopular around the world since the 1930s but A-OK for respirators in 2020.
Fuck this
Uranowski Oh Beaverton you've done it again....wait thats CTV?
What about people with long hair on their head? Should they shave it? Or just wash it with Clorox 5 times per day! 🙄The people that come up with these rules need to be let out of their cages so they can interact in the real world. IvoryTower
Ah for crap sakes. Guess i'm gonna get outbroken...
Neckbeards are doomed
So I guess that means these guys are gonna die, right?
well that's not politically correct
No mutton chops screw that.
The thing that’s being overlooked is this virus lives for NINE days. Unless people are in full-on body protective body suits, they won’t be safe. These masks are useless
mllintot Which one should I do? Soul patch or Zappa?
This is sexist
Look at the tooth brush!! 😂😂 i see hitler would of been safe during our new epidemic 😂😂😂
Anyone using a respirator should conduct a fit test. The effect of facial hair would become obvious
Damn Trudeau is not CDC approved
I'd rather get coronavirus than be clean shaven.
So now the government can decide what hair I m aloud .. hmmm no
A wee bit misleading. Facial hair while wearing an N95 is the context. You need to be fit tested and have a proper seal... facial hair interferes. Really, if people aren’t being fit tested for N95s, it a waste of time. This is for health care workers.
What are they all white... And male....
French Fork plus some on the neck.
4UWell I feel for those that greet with a kiss, 😂😂
Oh FFS!!
Can we stop all this hype already? It's spreading fear, which isn't helping anyone.
Guess I’m screwed.
Very useful but more as a reference for facial hair styles. Who knew there's actually a style called 'villain'? Thank you, CDC.
This made my day
I honestly don't think we need to be this worried
Who cares about the coronavirus. Did anyone realize there were so many types of bears and goatees?
This is getting a little out of hand
I need a poster sized version of this (minus the check marks and x’s) and hang it up in my bathroom.
peachycobblerr Interesting names 😂
Can we take a minute to appreciate some of those names? 😂
Hey JustinTrudeau time for a shave but better idea - don’t shave. 🤪
Uh oh. I've got a full beard. I'm DOOMED!
I'm sure the 'toothbrush' mustache is unacceptable for other reasons!
