Ok here's a technical breakdown of why the “@Dyson Zone™ Air-Purifying Headphones” aka. the Snot Cannon aka. the Wearable SuperSpreader Event is such a staggeringly bad idea and a significant danger to public health if it is allowed to be sold.

Sublime verbiage

Naomi Wu has a devastating takedown on Dyson's abortive Zone™ Air-Purifying Headphones.

It turns out that while this might have provided some protection to the wearer, it would have made every Covid positive wearer a super spreader.

"Snot cannon," is a wonderfully evocative term, and it also serves to make the whole concept less marketable.

Mostly though, I just love the name, "Snot Cannon."

If there were a Pulitzer for snark, Naomi Wu would be on the short list.
