(CNN) — When it comes to novel coronavirus safety, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests facial hair be kept to a minimum so it fits within a facepiece respirator.
Side whiskers, soul patches, lampshades and handlebar mustaches are good to go, according to a CDC infographic. But styles like a stubble, beard, Dali and mutton chops, are not recommended because they are likely to interfere with a facepiece respirator.
Masks and respirators are being utilized around the world to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, which has reached more than 80,000 cases globally. A respirator covers at least the nose and mouth and protects against particles including infectious agents, the CDC said. However, the CDC does not recommend routine use outside of workplaces.

It time to stop the Drama Queen Fake New hysterics and lying by statistical manipulations
Here is what the CDC Deputy Director said today.
57 cases in the USA, all contained
Total death Coronvirus world wide: 2711
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Total deaths annually in just the US from Flu:
While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010
Muslims and Circus Ladies most affected.
Fine, but I’m not getting a bikini wax!
Wouldn’t this advice also apply to Democrat women?

Maybe someone should announce the number of flu deaths, along-side the corona virus death numbers, a few times a day, to gain perspective.
oh for crying out loud- if there is an outbreak here- NOTHING we do will prevent us from getting it aside from isolating ourselves from everyone until the virus runs it’s course-
Coronavirus: 80,000 cases and 2800 deaths
Does that mean anything to you ?
I can’t help wonder what that graphic cost us.
[[and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010]]
80,000 in the US alone last year i believe- or maybe it was 2017=- can’t remember now
Nice to see that the avant garde musician from the Mojave Desert is remembered by a facial hair style named after him.
I'd guess there is zero chance of me getting the Corona...More likely I get hoof and mouth DZ...
those aren’t in the US- where medicines are much better and more accessible than in china and other places-
To compare, we’ll have to wait for stats from the US IF the virus erupts here like it has in china
How much money did they waste on this???
lol- i often put my foot in my mouth, does that count?
Ahh, no wonder Pete is sick, he had that shadow thing growing on his face.
