Masking Up Past COVID

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Masking Up Past COVID
Published: May 22, 2022 by VPR Producer

Wondering what to do with all those face masks you’ve accumulated over the past two years? Well, these face coverings are good for more than just protecting against COVID-19. Long before the pandemic, millions of people in countries across East Asia were accustomed to wearing a mask when they had a cold, it was peak flu season or just in a crowded space. We speak with two experts about the future of face masks in the U.S.


Guest Information:

  • Doctor William Jankowiak, professor, anthropology, University of Nevada – Las Vegas.
  • Dr. Linsey Marr, professor, civil and environmental engineering, Virginia Tech.
