Outraged mom slams mask 'insanity' after daughter collapses during basketball tryouts
Fox News ^ | 5/18/21 | By Joshua Q. Nelson

A teenager who collapsed during a basketball tryout while wearing a mask said Tuesday on "Fox & Friends" that she believes mask mandates are harmful to athletes.

On the second day of basketball tryouts at Crooks County High School in Prineville, Oregon, Savannah Lay said she experienced what she called a near-death collapse due to lack of oxygen.

Lay told "Fox & Friends" that she was doing "drills" that were usually easy to do, but, after she told the coach that she had "difficulty breathing," she asked for a break and removed her mask.

She said she was confronted by one of the "junior players" who told her she was "not allowed to do that."

"So I went to the locker room and I had to get onto the floor because the coldness of the floor was helping me breathe. And it was at the point where I was like, I'm going to die. Like, I cannot breathe right now, like, this is it," she recalled.

One of Savannah’s teammates found her and then immediately got one of the coaches to perform CPR.

"And they actually had to put my mouth close up to the mirror to see if I was actually breathing. And they said that I had no pulse. And then the next thing I know, I woke up in the ambulance," Savannah said.

Savannah's mother, Jessica, was outraged by the experience her daughter went through, so, she called on Gov. Kate Brown and the Oregon Health Authority to end the mask mandate to prevent a life-threatening emergency from happening again.

People are idiots. If they’ve had the “vaccine”, they should be good to go. Otherwise, why bother getting jabbed.

I really marvel at the complete and utter stupidity of the people who we have put in charge. Playing sports or exercizing leads to the need to breathe harder to take in more oxygen and to expel CO2. The mask blocks breathing and blocks the escape of some of the CO2. Put the two together and you get asphyxiation, which this girl was hit with.

It is totally ignorant and stupid to mandate the use of a breath blocker for people playing sports or exercising. If there’s such a thing as criminal stupidity, this is it.

I’ve seen people running with a mask on. Outside. Because they were told to.

Not ONE of our dear elected officials, or national TV doctors, ever mentioned this. Another reason why I have zero confidence in them.

How come everyone else also wearing a mask did not have the same problem?

Next you will be telling me that wrapping a rag around a windmill will impede it.

Or putting a rag around a solar array will cause some kind of problem.

I may be losing the argument.

Stop...think..then open mouth.
I sent you a scientific peer reviewed study with objective proof that there is loss of oxygenation with a surgical mask even at rest after an hour, not occasionally but across the board, worse as participants passed age 30.
I sent you a second paper documenting widespread headaches & malaise from wearing masks reported during COVID.
There have been many reports of kids feeling SOB of young athletes dropping out during practice etc.

But you want to know why !everyone! isn’t affected the same way.
Hint, we are each unique biological organisms. We have differing tolerances for decreased oxygen saturation, different metabolic needs and consumption rates of oxygen. Some try harder & push themselves while others stop when winded. Beware of trying to shut out the truths that threaten your position.

Bottom line, whoever is forcing people to wear masks when they’re exerting themselves, should have their azz kicked for this kind of jackassery.

Yep...OREGON...where idiots reign


And we know it’s mostly due to vote by mail fraud.

Oregon presented the mail in methodology to the DNC for the 2020 election. With so many years to perfect it, it worked like a charm.

Kate “the devil” Brown is a hero to the marxists and will be rewarded with a fat federal job offer.

which is the only way we will get rid of her.

Yes!

That is my point. You finally got it.

Bless your heart.

A couple of months ago I was working out in the yard when some kids got off of the school bus, all wearing masks.   I asked if they minded that they had to wear masks in school? They all started to explained how bad it was but one kid yelled "it s_cks!" Then he said that they had to sit in class with masks on all day but then they all went to the cafeteria for lunch and took their masks off.   He said it makes no sense.   I told him they are proving that they can control you.

Masking is truly nothing more than a habit ... a dirty, nasty dehumanizing bad habit. But like other bad habits it takes strength, confidence and, as important, it takes time to break. So for now I suggest freed people extend a bit of tolerant understanding toward those who dispute each new reason why forced masking of healthy people is no longer necessary (it never was effective); although we should extend such empathy only toward those unfortunate mask-dependent souls who don’t make an irrational demand for you to wear a mask and thus continue to share in their suffering.

You told them the truth. It is a shame that our children are being taken advantage of this way. It will backfire because the kids will become resentful & distrustful of authority since they can see through the sham.
We are being forged by the heat & pressure of this assault on our Constitution & on our individual liberties, our courage & resolve is being honed. I hope we will be strengthened in our resolve to drain the swamp and take back our power from the Federal G’vt, back to the States & the people.

I was watching a Bigfoot show last night and the two people were walking through a dense forest with masks on. And these two folks were supposedly scientists.
