Vagabondish | Is SARS Still an Issue in SE Asia? Says  |  April 2nd, 2007 at 11:11 am

[…] WhyGo.com posted this photo yesterday which begs the question: is SARS still a concern in Asia? I assume that’s the reason for this woman wearing the face mask? Or is it the pollution? I ask because I really don’t know the answer. The American media tired of the SARS outbreak about 7 minutes after the story broke and I haven’t heard anything since. […]

SARS is not a problem. People wear face masks because of particulate pollution.

They wear hats so as to keep their skin pale; dark skin is not valued in Asia, as it identifies someone as a low-paid farm worker. Skin whiteners sell very well in Asia.
