I lived in Mexico City for several months and can testify to that fact that NOTHING--deadly flu virus, surgical masks, Hell, high water--could keep people there from making out in the Metro stations.

Here's my question: It's a virus. Those are paper or cloth masks. Viruses are really tiny, and can obviously go through the paper or cloth masks. Wouldn't you have to wear something along the lines of a condom over your face to avoid getting the flu? And wouldn't that smother you? Surely there are public health people reading this who can enlighten my dumb ass.

@sarrible: The actual virus is not airborne but becomes that way when carried in droplets of saliva from a cough or sneeze. I think I heard a news report that said the whole mask thing only works if the infected person is wearing it, otherwise the best thing is to wash your hands and keep them away from your eyes, nose and mouth.

Also, I think you are correct in assuming that wearing latex over your mouth and nose would make it difficult to breath.
