This story comes to us from Legit News, based in Nigeria, and we had to skim their timeline to make sure they weren't a satire outfit. Legit seems legit, though, so we're wondering why they tweeted this:
Legit.ng ~ 20-year-old first class Anatomy graduate of Delta State University, Ishicheli Grace Kenechi is making face masks with beads after observing that some people find it hard to breathe with the popular face masks. Isn't this innovative?



Again, we thought maybe the hashtag #LegitStories was a disclaimer that you were reading satire, but we're pretty sure this is real.
Lukasek ~ So this isn't a parody account?!
Avignon Pope Brimley trucker hat ~ How is this real?
Innocent ~ Might as well snort the coronavirus like cocaine.
Harrison Bergeron ~ How ... does it prevent infection?
Dammy ~ Face mask with beads to prevent what?
galllomathis ~ This is satire right?
QuippersUnited ~ For those who don't know how filters work:
Filters have lots of fibers spread around in every direction. These fibers give the filter media an abundance of surface area, which sticks to incoming particulate. Round plastic beads have the least surface area imaginable.
DR. PENKING ~ I think Delta State University should be burnt down.
Daniel ~ Difficult to breathe is better than easy to die. ...
Miguel de Leon ~ Everyone who buys one gets a visit from these handsome fellas.

Jason W. ~ Equally effective mask:

Fortune ~ Corona virus going through the holes like:
{Embedded Video - couldn't get it to post, but take a look 'cuz it is funny!} ...
Incognitonews ~ Taxi cab drivers can match their seats now. ...
It has to be a parody.
