Oh...I wasn't referring to your comment. As far as how the intake of an "actual" mask, and not some piece of cloth over your nose and mouth?

Microfibers. The density and size of oxygen is smaller than that of gasses or viruses. A virus works much in the same sense as say (using an old WWI saying) mustard gas. It attaches itself to things. Surfaces...the air you breath (oxygen) etc...etc. The microfibers allow oxygen in...but are small enough not to let anything bigger allowed in. Infected oxygen is larger than non infected oxygen.

Tried to keep it as simple as possible. There's is more to it than that, but that is the simplest way of explaining it.

Ya'll should want errbody to wear them so **** will open back up. We dont have to be rocket scientist here to figure out how to contain it. You remember a couple months ago peeps was basically bragging about how they went to eat here or there and nobody was wearing them and said business was packed. I said get back to me in a month and tell me how that played out. I did not hear one peep from anyone. I said it sounded like a recipe for disaster. Low and behold. God gave us common sense, I encourage my fellow humans to utilize it.

All good. This has been the most informative response I’ve seen. Was just curious to know the benefit of the mask.

I appreciate it.

I’m am definitely trying to be difficult...it’s my thing.

Also evidence that masks contribute to breathing difficulties...which is a major symptom of positive Covid..

So your general argument is that masks don’t work at all. Ok try this, build a fire. Smell the smoke. Put on a mask. Do you still smell it? Is the smell as strong? How does the mask know to stop just the smoke particles and not the oxygen? How about when someone farts? Do you cover your nose with your shirt? How does the shirt stop the poop particles and not oxygen?

The adverse affects with masks had everything to do trapping and recirculating CO2, right? It’s larger molecule than O2 and can’t escape as easily. Maybe I’m misreading the room. But oxygen intake may be marginally suppressed.

People reusing nasty masks can’t be a good thing. It’s like never changing your underwear except worse, right over our mucus membranes!!!

I think it’s silly to argue either way, but I’ll wear one if I have to and to make others feel better and potentially stymie this flu. We just have to learn to live with this thing.

My opinion of the mask is that it helps to keep you from blowing your water droplets around.

Wwear a mask to hopefully protect my patients. I have a lot of high risk patients. If it protects them at all, then I am wearing it. I am not wearing an n95 mask...

Also, if you start getting uncomfortable in the mask, step away and take it off. No risk of brain hypoxia if you just do what your body is telling you.

I say this from experience. I got a haircut the other day and I nearly smothered when they put the hot steamed towel over the mask I was wearing.

I tell my employees all the time. Step away...go off by yourself...take the damn thing off, and breath.

...just don't take the damn thing off and breath in someone's face...

I get how a mask works. My original beef was the lack of O2 it let’s in over a long period of time.

It can’t be beneficial breathing in 3% less oxygen over a prolonged timeframe. Seems like common sense to me...

But anyway...

From the pictures from the game you went to, she is young and she will rebound, it’s happened to us older ones also in our lives. Good to see you working on this, maybe she will change the Eeyore into a Pooh.

Covid is actually so small that it can get through an N95 mask.

Masks are only there to prevent you from spreading the virus through droplets.

Coronavirus is about .125 microns. CO2 molecules are about 0.00065 microns. It's a 6ft tall man standing outside the Empire State building.
