"The retail can't sell without a Smile, and communicate." His prognosis: "In the hot summer, many will no longer tear his cloth mask down, because he can take it below and then it will be dangerous."

in the market town of the living engineer, Ekkehard Gorski (71), which can look back on a career with a major European aircraft manufacturer and a well-known German car brand, did not want to come to terms with the Situation and in his attempt to workshop a only ten grams heavy, the mouth-nose cover is made of a transparent PET-Material supplied by a respiratory power steering aerosols down in the direction of one's own body.
