Wear Your Face Mask And Savor Your CO2 Breath

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.

That’s why you only wear a mask outside your home, not 24/7. And why I limit the length and number of times I leave my home and change masks regularly.

Millions of hardworking Americans have been wearing masks on the job for years.
Yes, as needed for painting dust etc.
ON THE JOB. Not in the car with the windows up, at the grocery store, walking around the block.
Nice try though.

Masks are a hazard to your SPIRITUAL health
as well as to your physical health.

It’s extremely funny, watching all the “face masks National Socialists” go into melt-down, when facts come out and expose their lies.

"Another story to convince you not to wear a mask." Yup, the ChinkCom disinformation campaign against mask-wearing is still in full swing. Yet the ChinkComs themselves wear masks at the drop of a hat.

Watching people ride their bikes with face masks makes me feel like Roddy Piper with the special glasses on.

I suffered from lung/breathing problems for 25 years. I have been free of them for 20 years. Yet I put a mask on and it’s an instant flashback & very disturbing - I feel like I am going to have an asthma attack. It’s more than just an unpleasant inconvenience for someone like me. Especially with such dubious benefits for this civilization ending wind borne plague (Think “Last Man on Earth”, Vincent Price)
Unless someone has also spent several days (awake) sitting up trying to breathe they are not qualified to criticize me for declining to wear one.

Yet the ChinkComs themselves wear masks at the drop of a hat.They've learned that they can either lick the boots of their oppressors willingly, or be sent somewhere to be re-educated.

Yup. The masks are just a method by The Powers That Be to instill fear in you and others, without them having to lift a finger.
To: COBOL2Java
Take a 1/2 sheet of paper towel, fold 2x into 3 sections and use inside the mask, for a filter. Discard daily and wash the mask every other day.

I dont mind wearing my mask, I sterilize it after each use by letting it bake under the windshield of my car for hours. I wouldnt wear it for extended periods though, just when I have to be close to other people occasionally when going out. I look good in my mask, with dark sunglasses, I look totally bad-ass. I got no problem with occasional use.
