This one is about coronavirus masks.

We are all used to wearing masks and/or visors of various kinds during the pandemic – from the disposables to the plain cotton to the designer expensive ones.

This latest advert is for ‘Transparent Face Masks’ which supposedly are new and taking the world by storm.

But of course, they are not new and have taken anywhere by storm.

Many people in hospitality and retail wear visors rather than masks so people can see their faces and so do some people with asthma and other breathing issues that mean they would find it difficult to wear a mask.

Some chose transparent face masks, which have been around since shortly after the pandemic took hold but have never become very popular as for most people, basic cotton feels better to wear especially for long periods.

People who live with or work with the deaf or hard of hearing, do tend to use transparent face masks as lip reading is impossible through a normal mask.

So there’s nothing new about these transparent masks but the moron sending out the mass emails tries hard with benefits such as ‘anti water’ and ‘perfect breathing’ and ‘healthy’.

Wearing masks in the days of coronavirus is certainly safer for your health but doesn’t make any difference whether the masks are transparent or not.

The sender’s email address claims to be ‘Shields’ but is in fact visisupo.casa which should be a Spanish site to do with homes not face masks, so is an obvious scam.
