I thought face masks were for the face?

Maybe I'm being a bit obtuse, but I thought face masks were supposed to cover your nose and your mouth completely.

So why am I seeing lots of old people along with lots of frail middle-aged people with face masks on their chin or even their necks? A couple have them pushed high up on their foreheads.

Now Asians.. Asians know how to wear face masks. Even before this crisis, as soon as an Asian person gets a cold, on goes the face mask. It doesn't matter what the weather is like...even when it's hot and sunny, the face mask stays firmly over their nose and mouth. Even the youngest Asian teenager can manage this.

And I'm seeing lots of teenage Germans who know where to place a face mask on their fizzog. And they don't take it off or push it up or down when they're all alone in the street either.

For heaven's sake, if you have to wear a face mask because you're in a high-risk group and you are actually lucky to get your hands on one, then use it properly. Anything else looks ridiculous.
