Finally a bit of light relief as coronavirus sweeps the world.
With more and more people falling ill (or worse) of the COVID-19 AKA the coronavirus, millions of consumers are opting to wear facemasks to protect themselves from the rapidly-spreading disease. This is despite the fact that the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention only recommends you use a face mask when you are showing symptoms…
It’s also meant that people are looking to the CDC for information on how best to apply the masks, causing thea 2017 chart that shows the best fitting beards for facial masks to resurface. Below, see the hilarious pictures and names of beards you didn’t even know existed such as the Zappa, the Zorro, the Chin Curtain and the Walrus.
For some reason I find this fucking hilarious… and many Twitter users do too. Check out the chart and some of our favourite tweets below:
The CDC has just come out in favor of Hitler mustaches. (Because they don’t interfere with the seal on respirators) the infographic is interesting because it provides names for facial hair styles I hadn’t known. https://t.co/Q8N3jUxYe1 pic.twitter.com/WSSKsAJdf1

I am 100% convinced the CDC made up some of these facial hairstyles. Where did French Fork come from?? https://t.co/ML0OggO2EV

Our hospital is asking all staff to shave off their beards given #COVIDー19, to allow for proper fitting of N95 masks. Was thinking about going for the “Zorro” look … taking other suggestions from the impressively extensive CDC pictogram on facial hair 😂 pic.twitter.com/PrxWeH9zCn
