It’s time to start a movement to get more people to Wear Fucking Masks. We need to dispel the myth that mask wearing in public is only for people in Asia. #WearAFuckingMask #WeekendProject wearafuckingmask.com 1/

Background: I lived through SARS in 2003 and was one of those people that didn’t wear a Fucking mask:

“Fucking masks can’t filter viruses. Fucking Masks are for Fucking cowards.”

I was Fucking wrong. I Fucking missed the point. #WearAFuckingMask wearafuckingmask.com 2/

Fucking surgical masks keep you from spraying droplets on other people when you talk, cough or sneeze. These droplets might contain Fucking viruses which will Fucking infect other people. #WearAFuckingMask wearafuckingmask.com 3/

The turning point for me was in February 2020 when I was on a Fucking flight from Hong Kong to Hanoi. Everyone on the Fucking flight, except for the row of people ahead and behind me, was wearing a Fucking mask. #WearAFuckingMask wearafuckingmask.com 4/

The people behind me were Fucking coughing and Fucking sneezing. I could Fucking feel their Fucking droplet projectiles flying by my Fucking bald head. It was Not Fucking Cool. I wish they had worn Fucking masks. #WearAFuckingMask wearafuckingmask.com 5/

Fucking masks protect other people as much or even more than they Fucking protect you. Even if you are young and healthy, you could be unknowingly infected and spread the virus to others.

Don’t be a Super Spreader. No one likes them. #WearAFuckingMask wearafuckingmask.com 6/
