SEE IT: Kentucky woman cuts hole in mask to make it 'easier to breathe'

https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny-coronavirus-20200504-qjpnujrrpzdtzlxlsavkfanjie-story.html?fbclid=IwAR0TerUH4thKvbF9pEtWTI3o8DuTe17DeafjUK-q5ddcMK1k1uffUTM4y5I

A Kentucky woman was caught on video shopping with a hole cut in he middle of her protective mask which she claimed made it “easier to breathe.”

In the video, Joe Samaan, a gas station clerk at S J Food Mart in Lexington, sees a woman entering the shop with a torn mask.

“Where did you get that mask from?” he asks the woman when she approaches the counter to pay for gas.

“Well, since we have to wear them and it makes it hard to breathe, this makes it a lot easier to breathe,” she replies.

“Cutting it?" the clerk replies. "Yeah, I’ll do that too, thanks for the advice.”

Instead, we get this story and the cherry on the top of this dumbshit sundae is the clerk agreeing to do it, too.

After all, he's videoing the exchange and is likely the one who put it online.
That was a way to make her seem even stupider as she looks so self-satisfied when he says it.
Winning!

Went to store to get potting soil now that those services are allowed.
Big sign on front door saying "Do Not Enter Without A Mask". Since I was buying garden center stuff I wasn't expecting to go in, but I had to go into pay anyway. I had my mask on me, so no biggie.
So literally everyone there (maybe a dozen including employees) had a mask on, but...
One customer & one staff member had the mask down to the top of the upper lip.
Essentially useless.

She looks ridiculous, almost like she's put underwear over her face. I wished she was asked what the reasoning behind wearing masks is.

Those idiots in Michigan were either not wearing masks, wearing them below their noses, under their chin, or touching them every few seconds to remove them, scream at someone, then put them back again.

What school did she go to? What did her parents teach her growing up? That is beyond dumb.
