A co-worker ended up in the ER with hypoxia after wearing a mask for hours on-site. A few other co-workers commented that he must have underlying health condition. I have my doubts that is the sole reason. He is a young healthy guy.

Thanks for posting this. I’m saving it to support the concerns some of us have about possibly having to wear masks all day as a requirement for returning to work.

We are all teleworking and getting the job done just fine. I feel crappy after wearing a mask in the grocery store for awhile. Can’t imagine wearing one for eight hours.

Print it out and tape it to the door of any business requiring the wearing of face mask in their store.
Tape it to the door where the customers will have it at face level.

Regarding the hypoxia. Here is an excerpt from the movie "Contact" (1997).

INT. DOCKING BAY

Hadden glide-walks Ellie to the airlock. They share one last look at the magnificent view of Earth -- then she turns to him:

ELLIE
Why don't you come back with me?

HADDEN
Can't. Doctor's orders.
(pausing)
The low oxygen/zero gravity
environment is the only thing
keeping the cancer from eating me
alive.

(laughs at Ellie's shock)
It's all right -- I like it here.
Ever try sex in zero-G?
He raises an eyebrow. Ellie smiles, then steps into the airlock. They face each other. Hadden pauses before closing it.

HADDEN
One more thing, Doctor. If you do
meet these Vegans...? Ask them if
we have to die.
ELLIE'S POV FROM SHUTTLE - MINUTES LATER

The umbilicals release; the shuttle drifts away. Hadden
watches from his panorama window, small, motionless, as
Mir recedes and the shuttle retros back towards Earth.


It has long been proposed that hypoxia can prolong life.

Hypoxia and gene expression

By stating that hypoxia (low-oxygen conditions) may promote longevity, the researchers suggest that this environment can alter the expression of aging-associated genes, resulting in the extension of lifespan.   Nov 15, 2016

So, you're going to be OK in that respect too.
