STALLINGS, N.C. (WHDH) — A North Carolina woman who didn’t have any masks at her house decided to get creative before venturing out to the grocery store amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Kelly Hogan Painter donned a Buzz Lightyear toy helmet to the store to buy her family food.
Her husband had told her that she shouldn’t go to the store without a mask so she grabbed the next best thing.
Painter videotaped herself before she headed into the store, saying, “I’m going in,” as she pressed a button on the helmet, sending the mask over her head.
At least one person approached Painter, asking if they could take a picture of her.
