Indian man wears gold face mask to ward off coronavirus
印度男子戴“黄金口罩”,抵御新冠病毒
An Indian man said he paid about $4,000 for a bespoke gold face mask to protect him from the coronavirus raging in the country.
一名印度男子说,他花了大约4000美元定制了一个黄金口罩,印度疫情肆虐,他希望这个口罩能帮助其抵御新冠病毒。
The precious metal covering weighs 60 grams (two ounces) and took craftsmen eight days to make, said businessman Shankar Kurhade, from the western city of Pune.
来自普纳西部的商人尚卡尔·库哈德说,黄金口罩重60克(2盎司),工匠们花了8天时间制作。
"It is a thin mask and has tiny pores that is hel me to breathe," Shankar told AFP.
尚卡尔告诉法新社:“口罩很薄,有细孔,可以呼吸”
"I am not sure if it will be effective to protect me from a coronavirus infection but I am taking other precautions," he added.
他补充说:“我不确定这个口罩是否有效,是否能保护我免受新冠病毒感染,不过我也采取了其他预防措施。”
When going out, the 49-year-old said he likes to adorn himself with gold jewellery weighing a kilogramme, including a bracelet, necklace and rings on each finger of his right hand.
这位49岁的男子说,外出时他喜欢佩戴黄金首饰,重达一公斤,包括金手链、金项链和右手每个手指上戴的金戒指。
Kurhade -- whose company makes industrial sheds -- said he got the idea for the gold face mask after seeing a media report about a man wearing one made from silver.
库哈德经营一家生产工业棚的公司。他说,他看到有媒体报道一名男子戴着一款银制口罩,于是萌生了制作黄金口罩的想法。
"People are asking me for selfies," he said.
"They are awestruck when they see me wearing the gold mask in markets."
他说:“现在(出去)人们都要和我拍照。在市场上,当他们看到我戴着金口罩时,都感到非常震惊。”。
India has made face masks mandatory in public places in a bid to control the spread of the virus in the country, which has around 650,000 confirmed cases and more than 18,600 fatalities.
印度已规定在公共场所必须戴口罩,以控制病毒在该国的传播。目前印度确诊病例约为65万例,死亡病例超过1.86万例。

You can have the same thing with a Folgers metal coffee filter and a $5 can of Krylon gold spray paint.
买一个福杰仕金属咖啡过滤器、一罐5美元的克瑞朗牌金色漆,也可以做一个金口罩。

I'm very sure the mask will protect him from the virus, but won't protect him from invited robbers.
我很确定这个口罩能防病毒,但不能确保他不被强盗抢劫。

Silver has antibacterial properties, gold doesn't. Viruses are not bacteria, either.
银有抗菌性能,金没有。不过,病毒也不是细菌。

People asking for selfies? What a great way to encourage close contact
还有人想和他合影?这怎么保持社交距离?

Wouldn't silver be a better idea? Silver is supposed to kill pathogens, it's why silverware was used and hospitals use silver, and there are colloidal silver solutions used for sterilization.
用银打造不是更好?银可以杀死病原体,所以很多人用银器,医院也用胶状银溶液杀菌。

You can buy a LOT of kn95's for that amount. The more people around you wearing a mask the safer you are, so maybe buying in volume and distributing them would protect him more.
以这个价钱可以买很多kn95,发给周围的人戴,你周围的人戴口罩的越多,你就越安全。

Indian women in rural India hold over 11% of the actual amount of gold in the world. The country's culture has, for centuries, regarded the precious yellow metal as a symbol of prosperity. Consequently, Indian women collectively wear over 21,000 tons of gold on their bodies.
