UK Scientist Invents Face Mask That Kills COVID-19

Virus Killing Face Mask

A Nottingham Trent University scientist, Garreth Cave has invented a face mask that can ''kill viruses including COVID-19 and influenza upon contact.''

Mirror reported that while most face masks feature a three-layer design, this mask features five layers, including an antiviral layer made of nano-copper. It also has ions that are emitted once in contact with a virus, causing the virus to die and stop reproducing.

Dr Gareth Cave, who designed the mask said;

“The mask we’ve developed has been proven to inactivate viruses upon contact; the antiviral layer kills virus which has been blocked by the filter layers.

“The challenge with conventional surgical-type masks is that they only block virus from entering or exiting the mask. They don’t have an active mechanism for killing it once it’s trapped in the mask.

“Our new antiviral mask has been designed to utilise the existing barrier technology and combine it with our nanotechnology to kill the virus once it is trapped there.

“We’ve added the barrier layer to both sides of the mask so not only does it protect the wearer but also those around. By killing the virus on contact, it also means that the used face mask can be safely disposed of and not be a potential source of passive transfer.”

During tests, the face mask was shown to be able to kill more than 90% of Coronavirus and influenza viruses over seven hours, and had a filtration efficiency of 99.98%.

The masks are expected to go into production this month, and will be commercially available from December for healthcare, transport and food service settings.

Mysterious Creature Appears On The Sea Shore of Osu Castle,Ghana.

A strange creature has recently been washed up on the sea shores of the Osu castle which, reportedly, caused many people to flee the scene since they believed it could be a creature of the spiritual marine realm. Nonetheless, others also claimed it could be a human who drowned and was moved by the ocean current to the shores. Examining the nature of the creature, it appears to be a human with a vitiligo condition. Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its pigment cells(melanocytes). This can result in discolored pathes in different areas of the body. Others argued that, the saturated salt from the sea is what had preserved it's body from rotting and the constant washing and rubbing of the body against the sea bed had caused its skin to peel off. Others also claimed it was a sea god. When these photos surfaced on social media, many netizens passed their views. With that, some suggested it was the corpse of the Ghanaian singer 'Castro'.

Moesha Suffers The Side Effect of Butt Enlargement?See Photos of Her Rotten Hips

Going under the knife to have the ‘slay queen standard’ shape seems all lovely from the beginning until the marks and side effects rares its ugly head. The model and actress shared photos on her Instagram page and in one of the shots, her fans noticed something scary on her hips as if it has started decaying. The marks seen in the photos were similar to the ones that was found on the under arm and breast of Nina Richie when fans accused her of having a breast implant. Her fans asked if indeed Moesha’s hips were rotten or it was a tattoo or a hater who has intentionally edited the photos to tarnish her image. It is said that after an individual has successfully done his/her implant, they must frequent the hospital for check-up and failure to do so brings about the marks seen in the photos. .

Dead Man Made To Sit At His Own Funeral (Photos)

In what will come across as a really startling development, a dead man has been made to sit at his own funeral. According to Trinidad Express, the dead man was embalmed into a sitting position, placed in the tray of a hearse and given an open-air last ride past the Office of the Prime Minister on the way to his funeral. Dressed in a suit and in a chair, murdered Che Lewis was placed in the back of a pick-up van by Dennie’s Funeral Home and driven around Port of Spain on Wednesday. Witnesses and social media users were stunned. TTPS Road Safety Co-ordinator Brent Batson told Express via a WhatsApp message that the funeral home’s manner of transporting the deceased will be investigated. The dead man was made to sit on a chair at his funeral Batson said, “The TTPS is disappointed in the reckless behavior engaged in by a funeral home being circulated on social media whereby persons were seen seated in the vehicle tray seemingly as part of a funeral procession.
