Indian man wears gold face mask to ward off coronavirus

[JI7]

Do you think Trump would wear something like this where you could brag about having the most expensive, "best" mask than anyone else ?

It actually looks like it doesn't even cover his whole mouth .


<An Indian man said he paid about $4,000 for a bespoke gold face mask to protect him from the coronavirus raging in the country.

The precious metal covering weighs 60 grams (two ounces) and took craftsmen eight days to make, said businessman Shankar Kurhade, from the western city of Pune.

"It is a thin mask and has tiny pores that is helping me to breathe," Shankar told AFP.

"I am not sure if it will be effective to protect me from a coronavirus infection but I am taking other precautions," he added.

Kurhade -- whose company makes industrial sheds -- said he got the idea for the gold face mask after seeing a media report about a man wearing one made from silver.

India has made face masks mandatory in public places in a bid to control the spread of the virus in the country, which has around 650,000 confirmed cases and more than 18,600 fatalities.>

1. Those same tiny pores that help him breathe will let the virus in.

3. The silver one

Would have an anti bacterial effect. Gold would be useless.

4. Wearing anti-bacterial anything is useless against virus, and generally

a rather bad idea (with few exceptions) anyway.

The guy paying all that money on something useless.
Silver would be cheaper useless against the virus,but has useless antibacterial properties at least maybe if you don't brush your teeth much it might reduce odor..lol.
