Lools lile the picture is telling to wear the helmet, Not the mask.

Although masks maybe somewhat effective, they create a hostile work environment when anybody claims that you had your nose sticking out. For many foreigners, trainees, and English teachers, there are no labor standards that will protect you and nobody that will listen to you therefore masks are very problematic

LOL. Is that some kind of advanced PPE invented in Japan?

That photo reminds me of why I hardly ever attend public events in Japan.

Perhaps take that helmet off and just wear a mask? -The blue skin of the fingertips, arms & neck of the character may be a sign of 1) frostbite, 2) severe cyanosis (lack of sufficient oxygen supply), 3) a coronavirus symptom of infection (yes, blue digits, particularly in youth, first appearing to look like ‘frostbite’).

… Especially in Japanese culture and literature, where blue-skin indicates the character is already walking “dead”.
