With a battery life of eight hours on a single charge, the design features two H13 HEPA filters – similar to those found in home air-purifying products
Behold: The LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier.
A mask that allows the user to, er, ‘breathe in clean air both inside and outside’.
Via Sky News:
The mask comes with a case that contains UV-LED lights that have the ability to kill germs.
These filters can capture 99.97% of particles in the air.
The mask also has dual fans, and patented respiratory sensors can adjust the speed of these so that they match the breathing speed of the user.
The case also sends alerts to an app to let users know when the filters need to be replaced.

It’s essentially a pitch to Nestlé for an ad. No word back as of yet.
It will be an offence to attend a home gathering with more than six visitors
If you’re starting to think of a plan
To invite six friends round for a can
And invite more
The next knock on the door
Might just be from a police man

Last night.
Stansted Airport, England.
Ryanair flight to Pisa, Italy.
Via MailOnline:
Holidaymakers were left gripping their seats in horror last night as hazmat-clad officials rushed onto a Ryanair plane as it say at London Stansted and removed a passenger after he received a text saying he had tested positive for coronavirus.
The passenger and his travel companion were taken off the plane minutes before it was due to take-off from London and moved to the airport’s isolation area, where they were met by health authorities.
Their seats and the overhead cabin bins were then disinfected before the plane was allowed to fly to Pisa in Italy one hour and 40 minutes behind schedule, according to Flight Radar.
Seems legit.

Surely, even the most hard nosed, brainwashed bedwetter can see this for what it is?
Full on hazmat suits for someone with a cold bug?
100% staged for propaganda purposes.

Bedwetter?
How dare you.
