Mask company makes custom coverings that look like your face:

With travel companies and countries around the world finally coming down on the side of mandatory facial coverings in public, many feel anxious that surgical masks eroding their individuality. Fortunately one artist turned-accidental-entrepreneur has come up with a solution to social hygiene that is as idiosyncratic as you are.

Unsurprisingly these custom 'Face ID Masks' began as a practical joke. With surgical masks printed to order from selfie photos, the company began taking orders on the website "Resting Risk Face.com" in June.

Using user submitted photos the company makes facial coverings that match your features and skin tone – with the pledge to make the wearer "more easily recognisable during viral pandemics."

The result is uncanny. Apparently the coverings are convincing enough to "unlock devices" using facial recognition.

For artist Danielle Baskin the project had started "just for fun".

    So that is how they are planning to run their one-world government. Everybody wears a face mask or a helmet with the face printed on it for all to see. No personal contact and no more children. Everyone stopped at police checkpoints for gathering genetic data using the virus plandemic testing as an excuse.

    We should thank the jews for their hard work in creating this virus plandemic. Anonymity for the wearer of the mask and all the facially-anonymous person has to do is ditch the mobile phone.

    The plan is to reduce the world population by a large percentage. Most will die. The rest will have to face the anti-virus virus, which in fact will be nano-bots rendering any thinking ability of the human useless. Look beyond the hype and the "news" to find the truth.

    That was an entertaining read, thanks.

    Starting the day with a good laugh.

    I did, but all I found was conspiracy theories.
