MASKS IN THE OFFICE: GOOD OR BAD?
Yesterday I posed a question on Twitter: In a business meeting, what impression would you give by wearing a face mask when your hosts were not, and vice-versa?
@MichaelBkk and @wise_kwai both commented they'd think the face mask wearer was sick and therefore should be at home. @bangkokbronnie suggested more eye contact would be needed, which could be positive for the relationship.
It's an interesting question, considering the actual health value of wearing face masks is not all that great. But when you have a meeting and yours hosts are wearing masks would you feel compelled to do likewise?

You usually look better without a mask, but if it is going to help to prevent flu from spreading, I think it is seemly 'comme il faut' to go with the flow.
I think everyone who has commented understands masks do little to prevent someone catching H1N1, however I think the perception from most people wearing them is that they will be protected.
