Man Caught Wearing Dozen Virus Masks Amid Shortage

This video shows police officers stopping an apparently selfish motorist who is seen wearing over a dozen surgical masks at the same time while trying not to contract the killer Wuhan coronavirus.

It happened just two days before China’s foreign affairs ministry announced it “urgently needs” medical supplies including masks, decontamination suits and goggles as the death toll from the outbreak reaches nearly 500 in the country.

Traffic officers manning checkpoints in the town of Gaobu in Dongguan, a major city in China’s southern province of Guangdong, were shocked when they stopped the driver for a routine inspection at the border.
