Seriously? “Researchers” Develop Cutting Edge “Nose Only” Coronavirus Mask

Researchers in Mexico have introduced a new coronavirus mask that covers only the nose, allowing those terrified over the virus to participate in the mask fad while nominally eating at the same time.

CBS News touted the game-changing innovation in a video on Twitter.

It’s totally unclear how this is even going to reduce transmission of the virus. Obviously, if you’re eating, viral molecules can still escape your open mouth or even your eyes. The science attesting to the utility of masks was always dubious, with death rates roughly the same- or even more- in jurisdictions that utilized mandatory mask measures or not....

Part of me hopes people will be made to wearing these while eating at restaurants. It may finally push people over the edge and get the Karens to start to question what they believed about the 'rona all along.

But a large part of me is afraid the same people who have questionned nothing about the past year will continue drink the Kool-Aid.

(Yes, I know it was Flavor Aid.)

Saw it on the news looks really foolish.

Obviously.

[NWFree]

It’s like covering up one eye and hoping you won’t see anything with your other good eye

I would have to fight the urge to squeeze that mask, thinking it would make a loud squeak or kazoo noise, like a party Clown mask would do. Think of the Road Runner’s
“Beep Beep!”

But you have to cough and sneeze through your nose.
That can be very unpleasant.

Some people are Mouth Breathers by nature.
They won’t mind.

Does it come with black rimmed glasses and a mustache?!

What more do we need to just say no ?

[Chode]

[dsrtsage]

You got to wear 4 of them though

[SaxxonWoods]

That’s a joke, right?

Hardly ever wear one anyway. Grocery store until I get to the aisles. Then it’s pulled down. Ace hardware for 3 minutes. That’s about it. Everything else gets ordered and delivered. Never bring or wear one when I’m out walking around.

[fruser1]

Does it come in brown?

[CheshireTheCat]

I really don’t think it’s a joke. A lot of things in 2020 that should have been a joke weren’t.

The thing is, I’m sort of surprised that we weren’t hike our existing face masks up around our nose while eating.

But I don’t want to give anyone ideas.

AhhhhhCHOO!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Gotta be a dimwad thing!

[redcatcherb412]

[Secret Agent Man]

depending on nostril shape they can either work well or not

also cant wear if you have a runny nose

[madison10]
