As face masks fly off the shelves amid rising fears over the COVID-19 illness, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute for Occupation Safety and Health have just issued a helpful guide about which types of beards and mustaches will make those masks less effective, and which will be OK.

Bottom line: Most beards, and a few mustaches, prevent the mask from making a complete seal against the skin.

Yer doomed.

The first guy looks like Homer Simpson.

[Salamander]

I LMAO when I saw that.

Somewhere, Zappa is giggling, too.

Actually what the CDC is posting is correct.

maybe

true, I don't get out a lot (!) but I have never seen anyone with face mask.    ever

Looks like Dennis Gage from My Classic Car is in big trouble.

Civil war guys were hot.

Last week, in the most ironic moment ever, I saw a Chinese woman walking around wearing one at the grocery store.

Looks like the Government will be burning through that $2.5 Billion before you know it.

I assume this Beard Chart alone cost the Taxpayers $500 Million.

is it just me, or do orientals seem more prone toward face masks?

From what I’ve seen, it’s A Thing in Asian countries.

However, in an area populated by innately suspicious Hillbillies who are watching this virus jazz, it would appear she was unable to “read the room”.

People were scowling and blatantly avoiding her.

Pretty stupid. Any person with a lick of sense would realize that beards and face masks are incompatible.

I thought it was going to be more about fiddling with your beard with your hands.

[Yaelle]

The masks don’t really prevent it so forget about the masks.

[silverleaf]

Good one

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Maybe guys will quit with the stupid "stubble" look. It just makes you look like the bottom end of a carpet sweeper.

Although the soul patch makes you look like you missed a spot.

[musicman]

BTTT!!

interesting, thanks for the info.       people who are different are usually shunned.

it's a shame and kind of ironic that someone is scorned because of behavior meant to protect herself and others.

[ptsal]

Will the antifa be virus-free with their masks?

[Salamander]

She was avoided because she looked like a potential plague rat, not because of her race.

No one would’ve given a rip, otherwise.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Have you read the other comments here? It seems this chart is necessary. If it becomes necessary to wear a mask, I'm definitely trimming my beard. Why take foolish risks?

[Steve Van Doorn]

I thought it was the CDC recommending to dress up like Hitler on airplanes. What do I know?
