h/t Breitbart; Advocates claim wearing a nose only mask under your regular mask allows you to stay protected when eating at restaurants. But I’m not sure having a contaminated surface just above your mouth while eating really solves anything.
Researchers create nose-only COVID-19 masks to wear while eating
By Natalie O’Neill
March 24, 2021 | 9:13pmResearchers in Mexico have sniffed out a new COVID-19 mask designed for people to wear only over their schnozzes while they eat, according to a report Wednesday.
The nose masks — worn under a full mask with similar behind-the-ears straps — were unveiled in a demonstration video where a man and woman sit down for lunch, according to Reuters.
In the video, the pair takes off their normal masks to reveal their nose-only gear before chowing down at an outdoor table.
Some observers cheered the idea on Twitter, saying it would “reduce transmission,” while others poked fun at its goofy look.

A video of the nose only mask;
Maybe it helps – I haven’t personally conducted any tests. But I have my doubts.
Think about how masks are supposed to work – the virus particles and aerosols allegedly get trapped by the fabric of the mask, so the outside of the mask is potentially highly contaminated.
In the video, both the male and female researcher’s fingers appeared to brush the potentially contaminated outer fabric of the nose mask while they were eating finger food. The female researcher managed to avoid dipping her mask nosepiece into her drink, but only just, by taking a small sip from just the top of the cup.
Any slight mishap like this, while eating your food or drink, and you suddenly have a mouthful of whatever the surface of your mask just captured.
Or if the nose mask gets sweaty after you re-attach your outer mask, the sweat will start dripping contaminants washed from the surface of the nose mask straight into your mouth.
There is a far simpler solution. if you are worried enough about viruses to want to wear a mask outdoors, order takeaway. And pray that the suspiciously unhealthy looking kitchen staff washed their hands before preparing your food.
You’ll never ever ever see me wearing one of those. And I will be pointing a laughing at anyone that does.
One has to wonder. Does a man alone in a car wearing a mask go to bed alone wearing a condom?
Mermaid man
worthy of babylon bee or the onion lol
Just when you thought we had reached Peak Stupid….
Ive been personally concerned that without our yearly or more dose of colds/flu our immune responses will be weaker or slower
well seems i was right
as well as the fact a cold appears to be a GOOD thing.
russian vax is based on rinoviruses too btw

Just when you thought the Covid madness couldn’t take any more twists, here comes another one but you’d better brace yourself. The BBC’s Science Correspondent James Gallagher has a startling revelation that the common cold (the rhinovirus) can suppress COVID-19 because it’s so tough the SARS-CoV-2 virus gets pushed out of the way to make room for it. The news comes from the Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Here’s the summary:
Fancy that? So, by suppressing COVID-19 we might have successfully suppressed the very virus that might have helped protect against it. Brilliant. Not only that, but also by suppressing all these viruses it’s apparently become far harder to work out where SARS-CoV-2 virus sits in the ruthless world of virus hierarchies. That’s why it’s taken so long for this revelation to emerge.
Even worse than this is those who handle food thinking wearing gloves means they don’t have to adhere to proper protocols.
That ‘nose mask’ looks absolutely ridiculous. Do they come in different sizes depending on the size of your schnauzer? Did their meal come covered in tinfoil to be used as a hat?
I’m not retarded enough to wear those.

Next step, nasal plugs.
But then, there is no easy indication of who has failed to embrace woke religion.
The Diamond Princess Told Us About Pre-Existing Immunity, Asymptomatic Infection and the Infection Fatality Rate. Why Were Those Lessons Ignored? – Lockdown Sceptics
“I thought to bring your attention to a paper published in MedRxiv by Russell et al from the London school of hygiene and tropical medicine on the 9th March 2020. They were looking at data from the Diamond Princess to try and establish case fatality rates. They got it wrong, but they did give the original data they used.
3,711 passengers and crew were on the Diamond Princess. Median age 58.
The virus had circulated undetected for 2 weeks, so given that masked-up health officials had caught COVID on board (The Maritime Executive 12.2.2020), it’s probably safe to assume everyone on the ship (or possibly only almost everyone) had been exposed.
Everyone on board had a PCR test (eventually)
619 out of 3,711 tested positive (17%)
Of which:
Symptomatic: 301
A symptomatic: 318
Observed deaths:
(70 – 79 age bracket): 6
(80 – 89 age bracket: 1
So, it’s not unreasonable to suggest that 83% of passengers and crew may have had prior immunity.
Of positive cases, half were asymptomatic.
Of those that were symptomatic, 0.2% died. No one died under the age of 70.
In the light of all the data collected in the last year as this pandemic has ranged across the world, it’s startling to think that the broad outline of what we could expect were already known, just no-one wanted to see.”
Pretty steep measures for a “virus” that has not been isolated. Ever. Really. Show me the publication. There is not one.
https://principia-scientific.com/even-cdc-now-admits-no-gold-standard-of-covid19-virus-isolate/
Everyday another absurdity while people are actually dying form the untested gene therapy “vaccine”.
It’s called the flu season, which they renamed Covid-19. This is just stupid to pretend that the group of viruses from the last flu season are still around. It’s new flu season with the usual new strains that we get every year. It’s insane to pretend we need to wear masks at all, let alone nose masks while we eat. All are unhealthy and make the population sicker.
This seems a bit early for April Fool’s Day. 😉
A less humorous look at masks:
Potentially toxic and lung-damaging masks distributed to children and staff in daycares, schools
“In a preliminary risk assessment, Health Canada found that the SNN200642 masks made by Métallifer, which are widely distributed in schools and daycares in Quebec, may contain graphene particles. When inhaled, the particles can cause damage to the lungs.”
Admittedly, this rather brief article includes liberal amounts of “may” and “can” but it points to the manufacturing issues with these things.
This comes from The Onion – surely!
Perhaps it is about time to ask Dt. Fauci and the politicians he serves a question.
If COVID 19 was and is as deadly as you have claimed and masks are a truly effective preventative measure then why aren’t people dying in droves in Florida, Mississippi, etc where the mask mandate has been lifted?
The answers I’ve seen for that are a small part “It’s different there” and a large part “The governors are suppressing information and deliberately under-reporting the actual numbers”
Why not just use a clothespin?
That’s what Monty Python would do.
If this doesn’t tell you the whole Covid thing is a hoax, then no one can help you out of your fantasy world. If you buy this – you’re really, really stupid.
How much stupid stuff can we do to the plebes before they say no? Let’s try a nose mask because that dog “cone of shame” wasn’t stupid enough.
And people go along with this? I’m rapidly losing what little faith I had in humanity.
Present company excluded from that last line of course. You rock. 🙂
“The report didn’t note the name of the Mexican researchers, their company or when the nose masks could become available to the public.”
Nor did it provide a link to a study or evidence, so it’s an unsubstantiated claim.
All that for a pandemic that never was according to the American CDC:
