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.

I think he's making fun of her.

(9,423 posts)Her mask provides no protection for her and for others but many are walking around with a valve in their mask which makes it easy to expel your breath ( think germs or virus) but protects you from giving to others.
