I feel like the only place most people would feel comfortable wearing a product that looks like this would be home, but then since they're home... they probably wouldn't care to wear a mask or facial air purifier like this.

Beyond that, the filtration isn't NIOSH-approved so it just seems like the security theater equivalent of PPE?

And it would be pointless for anyone with a beard.

Yup. It blows my mind how beards haven't been a major point of discussion in the last 2 years in terms of mask efficacy being reduced considerably when one has a beard.
