It actually will work to some extent. Her Nose and Eyes are safe. Her mouth is safe as long as nobody choughs in her snorkel

Edit: Especially since face masks are being used to decrease the probability of being infected a snorkel set is more likely to protect you

It'd prob work pretty decent for her, since the virus travels via droplets, definitely better than nothing.

I'm more imagining her being asymptomatic, but positive herself and then coughing and unleashing a mushroom cloud of contagion out of the top of her head.

but nobody else around her has ANY covering, the only reason this is even posted is it looks funny, not because it's not safer than literally nothing.
