Man Spotted Wearing Snake as Facemask on a Bus:
Professor of Science Communication at the University of Gloucestershire Adam Hart told Metro UK, "There are, unsurprisingly, no studies of the effectiveness of snake masks but I think we can confidently say that this is not an effective way of reducing the spread of coronavirus. The gaps between the coils that allow the wearer to breathe will also allow virus particles to pass through. It is, quite frankly, a ridiculous face covering."
When asked what other dangers the of using a python as a facemask, Professor Hart was quoted, "From the photo, it looks like the snake is a large python so it isn’t venomous but instead kills prey by constriction." He added, "Likewise, if it decided to wrap itself around your head then it could well become very difficult indeed to breathe if your nose and mouth become tightly covered."
