The mask is made of BEADS! BEADS!!! Kenechi, after being mocked all over social media, claimed the mask is for fashion, not medical protection. Sure it is! Because people like wearing masks for fashion purposes.

From Legit News:

An anatomy graduate identified as Grace Ishicheli Kenechi has responded to people criticising her beaded facemask on various social media platforms. Grace sent a message to Legit.ng to share her own side of the story going around on the internet. It was earlier reported that 20-year-old Grace made facemasks from beads, so as to help people who find it hard to breathe after using the medical facemasks. She also stated that her beaded facemasks would prevent people from unconsciously touching their faces. Following this revelation, people took to social media to criticise Grace’s creation.

…

Grace explained that she got inspired by what she saw on the internet and decided to put her creativity to work. So, she made a beaded facemask, which she describes as one of a kind. “Beaded facemask is a fashion mask and not a medical facemask,” the young girl who does not seem to feel offended by the criticism from social media noted.

I think a tuition refund is in order here. An anatomy graduate really should know better.  And dear God, please do not let this woman come up with any “innovative” condom designs.

The replies to the tweet were hilarious and ruthless.

• You can’t even keep out mosquitoes with beads, let alone a virus.
• Why is she letting us know she wasted her school fees? Like how can you study anatomy without doing any course about microbes and viruses? How can this nonsense protect anyone from a virus?
• Difficult to breathe is better than easy to die
• Wow this is a very innovative way to catch the coronavirus
• I’m making face masks out of pure imagination so they don’t restrict anyone’s ability to cough and sneeze
• Might as well snort the coronavirus like cocaine
• I swear. Me too. Graduate of anatomy makes face masks with beads. Innovative indeed
• They don’t teach anything about holes in anatomy class?
• I made mine out of a colander! Super easy to breathe.
