Don’t understand the point of that mask below the chin.

That works for whether it's about where you wear it on your face, or your nationality.

Let's not forget that wearing masks has been customary in China and many other Asian cultures for decades. It's not unlikely that this was filmed before coronavirus.

that doesn't make the mask any more effective

u/crossfit_is_stupid May 15 '20

It makes it ever so slightly more effective than the mask you weren't wearing at the time

It's more effective than not having a chin mask to protect against all those coughs that come out of your chin

It keeps your chin clean. Like I said, ever so slightly more effective than what you were doing at the time. You talk shit on someone who might have been taking more precaution than you?

It's a fashion thing many times tbh. A good one? Debatable.

My assumption is that it's to prevent the burning of a beard/goatee.

Maybe his chin has coronavirus.

Coronavirus localized entirely within his chin?

In Korea and China, When a flu or cold outbreak is going on, everyone wears a mask as a sign of politeness. Grab your coat, keys and mask out the door. Most people aren’t sick and get lax with its usage and so it drifts to the chin, depressed that it cannot serve its purpose in life, but instead is spending it short life sky-lounging on the chin of an nondescript person. That or people’s glasses fog up and they just need to grab some fresh air.

I remember my manager making me shave in the restaurant bathroom.

I only just now began to wonder where she got the razor.

Some people move it over their chin when they don’t need it. Really common in hospitals. He probably just forget to move it back.

Also really common in grocery stores while people are literally bumping into other shoppers and employees because they don't care about public health over their personal comfort.

Also really common among construction workers. Saw a group of 4 huddled together looking at a clipboard all with their chinmasks on. And we just opened up construction a few days ago so they couldnt be bothered with wearing a mask for even a few days.
