So you've decided to start wearing a mask when you go out because of #COVID19 ? OK. But don't be half-assed about it. Wear your mask properly, or don't wear it at all.
Here's a thread, thanks to https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/well/live/coronavirus-face-mask-mistakes.html 
What's wrong with this?
Mask/2 #COVID19
Figured that out? (He didn't over his nose.)

What's wrong with this mask-wearing?
Mask/3 #COVID19
Get what she did wrong? (Didn't cover her chin.)

How about this one? It's probably the most common mistake I see around NYC.
Mask/4 #COVID19
See what he's doing wrong? (Tighten it up so that the mask sides aren't open and sloppy -- nice viral entry points.)

What's wrong here? (Tricky one.)
Masks/5 #COVID19
Seems ok, right? But no -- she's only covering the tip of her nose, leaving open space on top -- needs to pull the mask up and under her glasses.

How are you doing so far?

Here's another one -- see it?
Masks/6 #COVID19
It's an obviously useless way to wear a mask, but I counted 3 people "using a mask" this way in my quick grocery walk today. Also easy cross-contamination opps as you tug it up & down w/contaminated hands.

Finally, anything wrong here?
(Nope: This is perfect.)
