Too funny!
Ping.

How about having to smell my own breath for hours
on end?

I knew that. If I’m in public my mask is on.
Bovine excrement
The question I’ve posed regarding killer-mask claims has never been answered;
If you’ll drop dead from putting on a mask, why aren’t doctors, nurses and other medical personnel who have worn them a great deal of the time for over a century being hauled away by the thousands, on a daily basis, to the morgue?
They also don’t stop VIRUS’S
A good analogy would be when you add an air filter to a carburetor, one must readjust the carburetor to allow more air, due to the reduced air intake caused by the air filter.
No mention of N95 respirators though. I read somewhere that the prolonged use of this type of mask will reduce oxygen intake.
A co-worker at my daughters workplace fainted and had to have oxygen from wearing the mask. I don’t believe she went back to work.
I call shenanigans!
When I was wearing one at work, I’m an RN, I did my own oxygen saturation and my usual is 97% or 98%. With the mask on they were 86% and I did this on many occasions.
Medicare pays for a patient to go home on oxygen when the sats are under 88%. On room air!
And believe me, Medicare has to have that documented, and also the percentage when walking and lying down. Medicare very much does not want to have to pay for anything if they don’t have to.
What a load of CRAP!
How STUPID! Like we ALL don’t know about wearing masks.
DUH!
Hogwash! Try doing a workout with one on....
The company that makes these face diapers must be the one who paid fr this so called study. You get what you pay for I’ve always heard.
The P100 (pink) filters in my industrial face mask recommend a six to ten minute use cycle. That’s with an exhaust valve.
“new study suggests that surgical face masks don’t cause a buildup of carbon dioxide or restrict oxygen,”
“Suggest” is the key word here.

AS always one study does not means very much. Most of these studies done in the time of COVID lack scientific rigor. The study above, from 2008, is a better designed attempt to answer that question.
Excerpt
Considering our findings, pulse rates of the surgeon’s increase and SpO2 decrease after the first hour. This early change in SpO2 may be either due to the facial mask or the operational stress. Since a very small decrease in saturation at this level, reflects a large decrease in PaO2, our findings may have a clinical value for the health workers and the surgeons.
Nice review of many studies

-—A new study suggests that surgical face masks don’t cause a buildup of carbon dioxide or restrict oxygen, despite opposing claims-—
I did my own study and it suggests that surgical face masks DO restrict oxygen despite the above study.
The studies re bullshit. Don’t believe them.
