These female autoworkers could have stayed home collecting most of their pay when their Ford factories closed. Instead, they’ve gone back to work to make medical equipment.SAN DIEGO -- Michael Conley felt especially isolated these past few months: A deaf man, he was prevented from reading lips by the masks people wore to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
“You can tell so much by a facial expression, so it’s proving that it can be helpful to everybody,” Helton said. The Communicator was developed before the pandemic to address a problem that lip readers have long faced in trying to understand masked workers in hospitals. The problem has been worsened by the pandemic; many interpreters for hearing-impaired people have been unable to go into medical facilities because of the highly contagiousConley, a San Diego museum worker, suddenly found himself cut off from the world.
Hell of a scoop. Can’t wait to see the ‘water is wet’ piece.
Oh God please stop. Really...stop. begging
Take the damn mask off!!!!!!!
Is facial expression or lip language more important than life?
thats the scariest f***ing thing I have ever seen!
she looks like an absolute clown
Countries around the world suffering from coronavirus call for the cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics. I strongly hope to cancel rather than delay a year.
Even more difficult to read lips of a dead person. Put yo mask on dammit!
This is awesome! As a hard of hearing person...it’s been so frustrating..can’t wait til masks are gone for good!
Put a mask on mr. Ugly
Excellent idea 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I am a deaf person. We don’t just relay on lip reading, we also rely facial expressions/body language. So this is somewhat helpful, but remember clear plastic tends to fog when people breathe. Also, it’s a little creepy.
I will do the fastest data entry job perfectly. Contact me:
Or we could learn ASL.
So ?
You call yourself a news network?
Bitch what
Is he.not crazy?
Nobody cares about deaf people LOL

The Pandamic is fake. The Cops aren't real Cops. The Criminal isn't dead. Now Wake Up!!!
India and it's states launched this a while ago... COVID19
Lmao
Dangerous. If CoronaVirus is also airborne as implied, masks exposing nose & mouth could be very risky thing to do. You can always use Sign Language &/or written notes to communicate to the deaf & hearing impaired. Health
I am not deaf but being a foreigner in China I find it difficult to communicate without using my face
This is a story? No kidding ABC . Can't read lips if you can't se them.
Not in the summer time. Will only fog up.
The next discrimination outrage and riot is already upon us. 'Closed face mask's wearer's hate deaf people).
Is that a plastic window?! Worries about reading lips replaced w worries of actual suffocation
It could come in handy when it's time to muff dive. 🙂
They are instant IQ alerts. 'Hey everyone, I'm dumb enough to think fabric which doesn't stop a fart, will stop a virus..' 😂😂😂
That a man’s face under there?
Here's a better idea. Don't wear a face mask. They don't won't and are just a tool of control!
Or you could just take the stupid thing off.
my timeline would be so boring without wacky american news
Take It Off....
That’s weird. Has an assless chaps vibe. 😂😂
Just text.
That’s horrifying.
Cloth masks (not surgical or N95) are rated at 0% effective against viruses. If we both wear a cloth mask it doesn’t make a difference...0 + 0= 0. Even, the WHO now recommends you only need to wear a mask if you’re showing symptoms. Masks are symbolic not respectful.
Actually this, not a bad idea, I'm deaf in one ear and have tinnitus in my good ear in certain situations I've struggled to hear people.
And not only that the women can’t see how good looking I am!
What happens when it fogs up?
Wow... stupidity- it walks and breeds amongst us
Wow! I never thought of it that way...I apologize to those that read lips, but what is the answer? Distance lip reading? That sounds like a joke, but it is not. I have a niece that is deaf, so I want to know how to communicate safely!
By tomorrow these masks will be deemed racist.
I’ve actually enjoyed not having to see angry liberal’s mouths 😷 hope the trend continues for the commies 😬
When I come across one of the 0.38% of people who are deaf, we’ll figure something out.
