I know some cyclists wear them to minimise car exhaust fumes ,but they are also worn ,notably by Japanese tourists, seemingly as a matter of course,wherever they are.
Is this also an anti pollution measure,anti germs,and if anti germs is it to stop contracting disease,or because they have a cold or whatever,and do not wish to spread their germs?
They look very strange to me ,but if the new film,Contagion,causes a panic perhaps they will become more common.

The Japanese have the highest life expectancy in the world don't they? They must be doing something right.

Out of curiosity I had a look at the figure tables and couldnt believe that Swaziland has a life expectancy in the thirties
