I would like to add.... you know how Facebook is declaring it "fake news" that people are getting fungal infections from wearing a mask and breathing your own recycled dirty air? Well, that does happen and I know a 70 year old lady who got falsely diagnosed COVID and they said it looked bad for her. Then the family thought she had a fungal infection from her mask.... took antibiotics... better/home in 2 days!
Also, I have proof it lowers your oxygen levels especially with those that have existing lunch problems/smokers.

It's not the mask. It's the underlying conditions associated with lung disease and with smoking.
I wear a mask 12-16 hours a day. It's a bit stuffy normally, and very uncomfortable when we have to code a patient. My O2 sat stays above 97% even after multiple rounds of chest compressions, and so does my co-workers.
yes, I jumped the gun. My proof is with people with underlying problems wearing a mask. But some places are saying they don't care if you have asthma you must wear a mask. When the gyms were opened, a member with asthma got walked out by police for not wearing his mask and he wasn't even within 6 ft of anyone. I just get frustrated with the tyrannical enforcement of it all.
The issue with the infection from the mask is that you’re suppose to wash them or let them bake in the sun to kill off other types of bacteria that will collect.
Leaving them hanging in the sun, in the car, is totally fine... but you’re still going to get them dirty with the impurities and oils on your face.

Burn your mask!

"Existing lunch problems"
Autocorrect strikes again! It's been hysterical here the past few days
Fortunately the CDC does say if you have trouble breathing do not wear a mask
