The doctors know are on the same page with me. I’ve had conversations with them about it.
I’’m aware of all this. But the insurance companies send you home on oxygen under 88% for a reason.
There ya go.
What is inescapable: States with strict requirements and high compliance have just as big a COVID issue as free states. I can plot out when mask requirements were made and watch as states like California showed no change in the slope of growth 10 days later - when the masks should have had its full effect.
I could do it in Arizona, where the large majority of the population were required to wear masks - AND WHAT FOLLOWED. I don’t need lab studies because we have an incredible amount of real world experience with the total failure of masks.
Science has become so political that scientists” claim men can get pregnant. I have no trust in the authority of “science” - particularly biased studies.
I’m lucky that way. People around here have pretty much shrugged it off. The gestures required last year were comparatively unburdensome. Nobody is currently forcing those who aren’t elderly, infirm, neurotic, or working in nursing homes to adjust their lives around it at all. Hopefully things even out soon in the rest of the country, too.
Which is contradicted by other studies of nonmedical masks, and is wrong if "out in public" includes outside, while the 1 trillion dollars being added to the US GDP is absurd, unless it means 1 trillion dollars being added that otherwise would be lost due to a lockdown which mandated masking would substitute for. When you mandate masking inside and out in public, then it deters activity in public places inside (where masking should be restricted to) and out, and fosters sheltering. And which itself fosters obesity and other leading comorbidities which tend to be related to it.
And data from two US studies suggests that the incidence of type 2 diabetes in children appears to have doubled during the COVID-19 pandemic, and some 42% of U.S. adults reported packing on undesired weight since the start of the pandemic, and 61% reported undesired weight changes. [19] And closing parks, forest trails, beaches etc. and exhorting "shelter in place" and requiring masking whenever outside (thus deterring outside activity) fosters, and is unwarranted when the rate of transmission that has occurred outdoors seems to be below 1 percent and may be below 0.1 percent. ,
obesity — which over 42% of Americans are — along with high blood pressure and diabetes (which tend to be related to obesity) are leading comorbidities in Covid-assigned deaths (and obesity itself is estimated to be attributable to 2,800,000 deaths in America over a 10 year period — at 280,00 per year).More, by the grace of God.
In the workplace people are forced to wear masks, the healthcare workplace and other places as well. If in fact they don’t work and do lower the sat rate of oxygen to ones body they can actually be doing harm.
Making children wear them is really another big question as to how is this hurting a child if it reduces oxygen to one who is actually still growing. Should this not be considered. Why is the cdc so intent on forcing masks on people and ignoring the fact that this is a factor. The virus is still spreading and should this not be a consideration.
Wearing a mask for 8 to 12 and more hours a day and depravation of the full inhalation of oxygen could really be bad for the body. Should be looked into in my opinion. It makes me wonder why it is not if the cdc is the standard bearers for health care. Their recommendations are followed by health care professionals but they are moot on this.
I’m not against hand washing.

Lies and absurdities that damaged the COVID pandemic response
Yes I admit it - I sometimes click through and read the article ...
;-)
These ‘Workers’ were inhaling toxic fumes over long periods of time. They did not realize it. Often it had little effect and resulted in virtually no damage, but always there seem to be some who were done lung damage.
Most persons on Mechanical Ventilators have filters regularly exchanged and so because they are breathing in a closed circuit, their exhalation poses little threat to people, but that threat is not exactly Zero.
An N-95 should be worn when in proximity to these Covid Patients, especially when breaking the circuit for a filter change or transferring to a different ventilator for purposes of transport or procedures not able to be done at bedside.
Ha, physical therapists my eye. They all made nurses do it.
In the big time Acute Care, I never did it. I did not ever realize that there was any friction between PT and Nursing.
I never did ABGs any more either. I think that I did 4 in 9 years. Most of the ICU Pts had A Lines. Connect a syringe, hit the stop cock, 20 seconds. In Chronic Care we ran our own Gasses. In the big house, they (The Labs) sucked. They never had a large enough of a sample. They were spilling blood all over the Lab I figured.
At least with the A-Lines we were not causing a bunch of Hematomas or skin bruising.
