Physical Distancing With History-inspired Headwear

Artists wear colourful "deconfinement hats," made of paper maché and inspired by Chinese Song dynasty headwear, for physical distancing at an art gallery in Paris as it prepared to reopen this week. The first Song emperor is said to have ordered his officials to wear winged hats so that they could not gossip without being heard. "Back in the day, these were worn to prevent public officials from whispering," artist Dominique Pouzol, who created the coronavirus version of the hats, told Reuters.

  1. I have sense that Google isn't publishing my Blog. Would someone provide feedback, please.

  2. Many home made masks are too small for comfort.
    I suggest women could wear a hijab for isolation.
    Just a thought, without prejudice.

    1. You threw your jab too quickly this time ... hardly anyone is concerned when women wear a hijab, as it permits the showing of the whole face. In order to cover the nose and mouth a niqab would be required.
      Another one of your typos, methinks ?
