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.

LIES. This is part of the campaign to make masks permanent, or as Orwell might have put it: a boot stomping a masked human face, FOREVER.
They also do not reuse them. Ever. During a long stint in the ER, they'll often swap them for new after a while.
It is lunancy to wear the same mobile petri dish on your face all day, every day.
They certainly DO cause fogging of my glasses.
1) This says this study “suggests”... I stopped reading right there!
2) Masks Do NOT stop this virus
3) You want to wear one, be our guest, but don’t be snarky and imply we should all just shut up and wear these ridiculous masks!
4) They do indeed restrict your oxygen intake!
My body adjusts the carburetor— I find myself becoming a flycatcher, if I have a mask on for an extended period.
Now, if a policeman puts a mask over a face...THEN it would reduce oxygen.
“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?”
Because doctors, painters, asbestos workers, ect, all get to take their mask off throughout the day. No personnel, medical or otherwise, has ever wore their mask for 12 hrs straight. A doctor would take his off the moment he left surgery. The painter, once he was out of the room he was painting, same for the asbestos guy.
That is why.
Personal experience. I go to a particular store in which I have to pick up 4 50 Lb. bags, and put them on a cart. I have several other 16 lb. bags as well, but the 50 lb. bags are the ones that really get me. I don’t give a damn about the rules, the mask comes off until I can breathe again after loading those bags. I’m 73, and I cannot breathe in the process of loading heavy bags to the cart, or later to my car, or truck whichever I have taken to the store that day. Mask off, no problem. I can still do about anything, but with that damned mask on I can’t breathe on many occasions.
Horse puckies!
Well duh. Anyone who thought that is a Nancy. It’s idiotic to even suggest that a surgeon or nurses can wear one for hours - day after day, year after year- and be fine- but everyone else is going to pass out after 15 minutes or have some sort of damage. It was an excuse and a pretty pathetic one at that.
That may be true but I doubt it.
I have COPD. After wearing a mask I sometimes become light headed, I assume because I'm not getting enough oxygen.
And the CDC itself accidentally admitted that masks are little use against the COVID-19 virus:
So how long is it before a person keels over from a mask?
What is the time frame? You have the numbers from stats and studies on the timeline from putting on mask until death occurs, I assume.
Whatever. They are still asinine.
In a controlled environment where the issue has been scientifically studied, even people wearing an N95 mask while exercising experience no issues: http://www.rcjournal.com/contents/05.10/05.10.0569.pdf
The data is right there. You can choose to ignore it. You can choose to not believe it. But people have tried it, studied it, and demonstrated that even an N95 mask has no adverse impact on someone who doesn’t already have a respiratory problem.
Masks are worthless - you be good boy follow the directions of your masters.
Almost all the masks I see are cloth masks, usually fairly heavy ones. They restrict breathing, thus oxygen. That’s why you feel a sense of relief when you remove it or when you uncover your nose.
These cloth masks had to be invented. Our little town made tens of thousands of them in the Spring. But they are of no value in the grocery store because you don’t spend enough time around anyone. Social distancing keeps you safe. The mask is more of a virtual signal in areas where you can socially distance. Who says that? The New England Journal of Medicine.
Hey STUPID.......If masked worked why haven’t hospitals and doctors offices required they’re patients to wear them before they enter the facility for the past 100 years????
Face coverings work primarily on outbound air, not so much inbound air.
Patient on operating table. Doc and nurses wearing masks, patent not.
