"This must be why all the doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists, lab workers, contractors, painters, dental hygienists, carpenters, nail salon workers, and all the others who wear masks for work all day every day for decades on end drop dead all the time.

None of these people wear masks "all day every day." In fact, they wear them only as required by the specific type of work they're doing and then almost always just for short time periods.

That’s one of the keys. Another is to wear them properly, and to be mindful of doing things that compromise the mask filtration.

It has been clear that few enough people do those things that the potential benefits are not generally realized, leaving a larger group that experience the downsides.

I'm certainly in that category. I keep the same mask in my car for when I go in grocery stores and such (so that I can keep the krazy Karen's off my case) but I rip it off soon as I get out the door.

Never had any of this so-called "Covid" but if I did, I probably thought it was the common cold.

I've had the same mask for over a year now. Don't think I ever washed it either.
