Surgeons wear masks for hours at a time and yet somehow survive.
“Surgeons wear masks for hours at a time and yet somehow survive.”
Dumb logic. We’re not surgeons.
Their patients ..not always.
Censored: A Review Of Science Relevant To COVID-19 Social Policy And Why Face Masks Don’t Work
There are reasons for that, smart ass.
First off, one of the main reasons surgeons mask is to protect themselves against being splattered by blood (and sometimes guts).
Second, operating rooms are ventilated in such a way that the entire air turns over about 10 times per hour, so there’s constantly a “current” or breeze if you will.
I know. I work in an OR. It feels very different to have a mask on in the operating room versus having the mask on when I step out into the hall. So check yourself.
They change them periodically when the masks get soiled.
You know what it says on the boxes of masks we buy?
Not for use in healthcare settings.
Hmmm....

I worked in a clean room for over 35 years. NOBODY would be wearing and rewearing ppe like this. Masks were changed out every few hours, and they were put on with gloves. They weren’t thrown on the car seat, or in a purse and reused. Plus, many people can’t wear them. We would have to make people who we interviewed suit up, so they could see if they could handle it.
No matter what, you must breath with these masks on. You know how you clean your glasses by breathing on them? Well, same here. That moisture is now going to attach to any bacteria that comes your way. Surgeons wear masks in a clean environ. This isn’t. I don’t want anyone anywear near me wearing one of those bacteria laden masks. May as well wear used underwear on your face.
‘Surgeons wear masks for hours at a time and yet somehow survive.’
yes, and they are grandly paid for having to do that, just like we are when we go to Walmart’s...
idiots...
Hey, if taking a knee is your thing........
Did you know that the hospitals have specially designed HVAC systems in operating rooms which compensate for this?
Yeah...they in cooled rooms (very cool) and have extra oxygen piped-in. Most surgeons are relatively young also.
It’s apples and oranges.

That’s because they don’t want to get their patients infected.
