Docs have known for decades and it is just common sense that inhibiting O2 intake and rebreathing exhaled CO2 is not a good idea, esp. for extended time periods. Yet Karens are calling for people to wear masks outside and while exercising, and governors want all employees to wear them for their whole shift. When will this nonsense stop?
Where is their double blind study proving that the masks they are mandating reduce the risk enough to overcome the debilitating effects??
Dude I just went to two gas stations today (the kid wanted donuts and no one had them) and no one was wearing a mask despite an order and signs saying to wear them. I had a long talk with the cashier about how we’re all doomed for not wearing them, and how most of us prob got sick with it back in February in our town, and no one would test back then. People think it’s bullshit and I’m in a blue state too. It literally is only the Karen’s wearing them. Not a meme.
I went to the grocery store yesterday , and in all that time (and the place was PACKED) I saw four people wearing masks , one of whom was an employee . The other three were visibly immunocompromised due to age or weight or both. Everyone else tried to obey the tape markings on the floor for where to stand, but the only ones wearing masks are those who are at elevated risk (not that a mask is going to protect them much, but maybe it'll help their stress levels. Or something).
Nice to see you make it to the win, basedmedicaldoctor! I recall you from the old times. I was hoping to see you as I have a question I think only you can answer.
See - I was thinking of wearing scrubs next time I go shopping. And I'll give eye contact. Just bait them. Just bait them
Now I'm not an MD (I have the older doctorate). I am a total goofball but I can seriously look like the most intimating person in the world. I scare myself sometimes when I look in the mirror. And when I yell. I scare myself. All the time. So my plan yeah just stand there. Wait. Wait. Wait.
And then as soon as some karen says something to me, in the most homo affect ever, I'll say "Oh sugar, you don't have to worry about a thing. That virus can't hurt you. But that HIV one sure can. So sad. We lost so much of our best talent, don't you agree? So be careful, when you're spreading those big thighs, ok hon? Luv ya."
Oh yeah my question - So what color scrubs for this? That's where I got sidetracked. Too many choices really.
I had to tell a Karen "if you can put a mask on my face ill wear it" she couldn't. Every mask less person in the line reaffirmed with comments like "id like to see someone try it on me" hell yeah etc. She was so pressured she got out of line and went to the back of target. Costco made them mandatory. I just ordered 300 dollars woth of stuff I would normally bought at Costco. That's how I'm doing it if they can't get past the stupidity. I will not participate
"In conclusion, both surgical and cotton masks seem to be ineffective in preventing the dissemination of SARS–CoV-2 from the coughs of patients with COVID-19 to the environment and external mask surface."

I haven't worn a mask since the beginning and the way people act in stores because of it is hilarious.
Same here. I don't even have a mask to wear.
My wife took a leave of absence from her job because they were forcing her to wear a mask (she didn't even put it on once).
If there is a mask shortage, where are people getting masks?
Maybe I should just run around in a ski mask.

I have people standing guard in front of the grocery store and I can't enter unless wearing a mask.
I tried standing in line without one and they singled me out and asked me to leave. It's hard on me wearing one because of asthma. It's such BS.
If you have asthma you are exempt.
Tell them f7ck you online shopping and some store in another state will get my money and I won't be paying state taxes
These yentas am-I-rite?
Yeah, I live in California and so far few people use masks in stores. I find it funny tbh.

Well I could see myself going for a PA some day - black it is!
Thanks BasedMedicalDoctor!
I dance around like a monster when they finally back away with disgusted looks. Makes me laugh so fucking hard

Don't be surprised that old people and the sick start to drop dead in the streets from heart attacks. Especially in hot weather.
Nice. I didn't see a double-blind study proving the efficacy of people without the disease wearing a mask either.
