Benefits of technology

[0006]A principal concept of the present invention is to provide a cover for a breathing mask to enable a wearer to select the look that they desire to present to a viewer in order to enhance fashion and provide a means of self-expression.
[0007]It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a mask cover that avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
[0010]Another object of the present invention is to allow a wearer the opportunity for self-expression to enhance ones own image and self-esteem.

Problems solved by technology

People with compromised immunity systems, such as someone undergoing chemotherapy for cancer treatment, are particularly susceptible to infection and disease from airborne pathogens.
Unfortunately, most masks are plain and ugly, and carry the stigma of poor health.
With the inevitable loss of hair that results from such cancer treatment, having to wear such an ugly mask merely adds to the indignity and diminishes the spirit for healing.
