This is truly a duh moment.
When a healthy person wears a face mask, they continuously re-rebreathe a portion of the CO2 that comes out of their lungs.
Of course, there are many different types of masks that vary in such CO2 concentration, but the principal remains the same.
Breathing air that is too rich in CO2 has its own negative health effects !
Humans breathe in air that is approximately 20.95% oxygen, 78.09% nitrogen, 0.93% argon, and 0.04% (400 ppm) of carbon dioxide.
Upon exhaling your breath contains approximately 3.8% CO2.
Now, people are not dropping dead because they breathe higher-than-normal concentrations of CO2.
How many of you survived as kids hiding under the covers with a flashlight after bedtime ? (Likely, all of you!)
When CO2 enters the lung, is dissolves in water, forming carbonic acid which makes the blood more acidic, lowering blood pH.
At the same time, excessive CO2 concentrations leaves less oxygen to be absorbed.
Other aspects of body chemistry are affected as well.
When wearing face masks,especially for an extended period or during higher-than-normal physical activity,
some people will experience symptoms like rapid breathing,
rapid heart rate,
dizziness,
muscular weakness,
emotional upsets
and fatigue.
Of course, it is up to each person to decide what it good for their own health.
This writer has already decided to ditch the mask for fresh air.
Admittedly, it is right for a sick person to wear a mask when they find it necessary to be in a public setting.
All others should consider the potentially negative health effects that a face mask might cause.
As states proceed to re-start their economies, companies like Costco are requiring and demanding that all shoppers put on face masks before being allowed into the store.
Certainly, others will follow.
Although their logic for doing this is totally flawed, shoppers have a decision to make:
If you want to attempt to sort this out when faced with such a challenge, create a little card like this to show to the store manager or anyone else who demands that you wear a face mask.
Even if they tell you to get lost, you will have made an important declaration to them about constitutional and legal rights.
Lastly, what is the real agenda of requiring everyone to wear masks even after the pandemic subsides ?
A peer reviewed paper on the National Institute of Healths website (NIH.gov) points in the right direction.
The surgical mask is a bad fit for risk reduction was written in 2016 by Dr. Shane Neilson, MD.
He notes that Wearing a mask reinforces fear and that This fear surfaces in public policy.
Lastly, he concludes: The problem of affect in political terms is a contagious one: fear spreads among the public, leading to intensification of risk management. [emphasis added]
Thus, the governments goal to encourage the continued use of facial masks is to reinforce fear so that their own risk management programs can be intensified.
This, in pure terms, is nothing short of psychological manipulation and it has nothing to do with health or keeping people safe.

Your the one acting like a troll. Not at all consistent with your start date.
But, no.. tool. Sorry.. Tools are things used by others to further their plans. This is where you have lined up.
As I said, I was arguing from your side until I had to give up and apologize to another Freeper when it became clear that transmission was primarily airborne and that people in general don’t wear masks properly, thus defeating all point of wearing them.

"I dont even get the point of this post. I am not going anywhere." The POINT is that I am not going to indulge in conversation with someone who does name-calling, which you have done more than once. "Get Lost"means if you see my handle on a comment, don't bother to respond. Is that clear enough??

NO. I Don’t. And, you called me a Troll.. so don’t get all Holier than Thou about name calling.
I am not going to search you out... but I am not going to bother to remember your handle either. And, I certainly don’t intend to censor myself because you want me to.
On the other side, I apologies when I find I am wrong. I copied all of the links you provided, which were good, but only one sided and all from just a single perspective. I have accumulated an enormous mass of information on this.. and I see you as sharing misinformation in this instance.
Face masks have their place, but its not on healthy people, especially outside. The original responses by the medical professionals “that they are counter productive” is correct. Politics made them amend their answers. You wish it was otherwise, and now your argument is SHUT UP.
I accept the science in many of the links you provided and I strongly believe that if someone is feeling sick they should mask up before going into public but they should even reconsider that, stay home. But, masking up and infection control in one’s own home is the most important if a loved one is in a sensitive place, but Covid is so infectious that this mostly doesn’t work. (This is why New York when they traced where the hospitalized infections were coming from found 60% coming from old people who were sheltering in place.) The plain fact is that HCQ as a prophylactic for the household would be much more effective, during the incubation period. Plus Zinc for the individual feeling sick. (Zinc is a poison in doses used to drive off COVID) And, make sure you supplement Vitamin D or get outside in the Sun frequently. If you can’t access HCQ, Quercetin will do, but it isn’t as safe becuase it doesn’t have 70 years of monitored history. (It may be, we just don’t know it.)
But, as I said, I am not bothering to remember your handle. So if we run into each other again, we do. Most likely we won’t be opposing.

And, you say you don’t call people names.. and then you do.
Don’t blow a gasket. But, no not getting lost. Not going away. Not being silent. Not worrying about you.
