Face masks don't restrict oxygen or contribute to carbon dioxide buildup: study
Fox News ^ | October 2, 2020 | Jeanette Settembre

Breathe easy. A new study suggests that surgical face masks don’t cause a buildup of carbon dioxide or restrict oxygen, despite opposing claims. The study, on the “Effect of Face Masks on Gas Exchange in Healthy Persons and Patients with COPD,” which was published in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society on Friday, was conducted after a group of Florida residents challenged Florida’s mask-wearing mandate in June, arguing that wearing the protective face coverings could result in the buildup of too much carbon dioxide.

Hey guy. I hope you are doing well.

Are you officiating this season? Or is there a “season” in your AO?

, to the morgue?


Just a little bit over the top eh skippy? or should i say Karen?

Wearing them in an operating room is a little different than current constraints.

Where do you come up with this craps of dying from wearing them?

For damn sure they are uncomfortable, especially for longer periods. I hate the damn things and am forever adjusting them which defeats the purpose.

they wear masks to prevent expelling fluid into a patients open wounds... doesn’t prevent air contaminants.. if you are sick with a virus, you are not allowed in even with a mask.

BS!!! I have COPD and I have a hard time breathing while wearing a mask. I have to keep pulling it down to let my nose breathe unrestricted.

Can’t tell if you purposely ignored the whole bit about how viral proteins denature in open air and require a liquid medium such as respiratory droplets in order to remain infectious or if you just didn’t understand it.

I can explain it more simply if need be. Let me know.

I guess that’s why I feel so light headed when I have been wearing one for several minutes - because it doesn’t reduce oxygen.

Of course, you’re right with your ridiculous and easily disproven anecdote and all studies done on this that show otherwise are wrong. What was I thinking?

Obviously doctors and surgeons and everyone walking around in Walmart are paralyzed and near death every moment they have a tiny cloth over their faces.

One man out of 7 billion experiences a medical issue so clearly that’s indicative of all human experience?

What else was the man doing when this happened? Running? So running causes collapsed lungs and cardiac arrest? Nobody should run?

Was he also wearing underpants at the time? So wearing underpants causes collapsed lungs and cardiac arrest and nobody should wear underpants?

You don’t actually believe this nonsense, right? You’re making a joke?

This is pure crap!

Just put an O2 monitor on your finger, put on a mask and then watch the number creep down.

Plus the fact that re-breathing always causes C02 to increase.

If you are in excellent health the difference will not be significant...but there IS a difference.

Scumbags Get Million Dollar “Grant” to Do a “Study” to Prove The Narrative and Produce Narrative Supporting Idiocy.

Remember to wear your mask. We’re watching you watching us. Violators will be punished.

If placing a bit of cloth over your face for a few minutes causes you to become light-headed, you should seek medical attention to determine what the cause of your pulmonary disfunction is. A normally functioning human body does not have that reaction.

Studies have demonstrated that even wearing an N95 mask while exercising on a treadmill results in virtually no change in SpO2: http://www.rcjournal.com/contents/05.10/05.10.0569.pdf

My guess is you are not wearing an N95 mask and that you are not exercising on a treadmill. So please go see your doctor to help determine what’s wrong.

They also don’t stop VIRUS’S

Actually a cheap mask does make a slight difference, kind of like how a picket fence can stop a bit of the water from a hose when you spray through it.

But you still get wet standing on the other side...just not quite as wet.

Have you ever worked out in a mask? Or do you just sit in your basement trembling from Covid fear?

“they wear masks to prevent expelling fluid into a patients open wounds... doesn’t prevent air contaminants.. if you are sick with a virus, you are not allowed in even with a mask.”

Be that as it may, it doesn’t address the question at hand - why they aren’t dying from just wearing masks.

Yes they do. I have COPD and I labor breathing under one.

“Karen?”

Sorry, but everything after that is just a continuation of that beginning emotional explosion. When/if you can get past your emotional responses to scientific questions, try again. Dismissed.
