New fashion accessory in pune N-95 mask

Pune has gone silent. Today i went to see movie and found a large number of people wearing a mask on their face in the theater. All the staff there is wearing this N-95 mask. Looks like its a new cult accessory. Its not! Its ugly. Its the panic H1N1 flu has created all over the city and in India. Few people have died and many are infected. It has come to challenge the crippled government medical facilities. Not sure how they will take up this challenge. Even the doctors are reported to be getting infected. I hope this doesn't become epidemic and people get rid of this ugly mask.
