Would you or will you be wearing one of these masks on Halloween night or any other time?

Here are some stylish and spooky (in more than one way) masks to help protect you from H1N1. Will you be wearing a mask like these in the near future? Are you wearing one currently?

No, I won't be wearing these masks. They're ridiculous, and almost certainly ineffective when used by an inexperienced user. The masks first need to be able to filter the virus (an N95 mask is effective), which these decorative masks may not be. Second, the mask needs to seal properly around your mouth and nose, and any behavior that breaks that seal needs to be avoided. No eating, drinking, or any of many other entertaining mouth requiring activities can be done.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to spend time at a Halloween party where everyone's sober, hungry, and hiding behind a mask.

As for other times, I've already been exposed to the flu and had a relatively mild case. If i hadn't, I would get the vaccine before I considered wearing one of these masks.

Can't say I was planning to were a mask for Halloween as it is not celebrated much in this part of the world I live in. To answer your question, if I had the access to the second one on the top, I would certainly use it. Looks awesome

I agree.
These are great way to make an uncomfortable scenario a little easier to swallow. The novelty lightens the seriousness of the usefulness.

I am sorry to say that if I have other choices, I would not wear these masks on Halloween! They look rather funny than any spooky or frightening. They may spoil the very theme of Halloween. If you are thinking of wearing any of them, please drop the idea. The masks from the movie "Scream" or "Jason" series or a mere hollowed big pumpkin used as mask would have done better. Thanks

** You may differ, but this is exactly what I think **
