Pretending it’s not there or that we can hide from it are both idiotic strategies of dealing with it.


Panic porn is just as idiotic and probably more damaging.

So, what do masks really accomplish.


It’s a public sign to remind you that the virus is bad - whether it is in your location or not.

St. Louis and Kansas City have both enacted mask requirements - despite hospital utilization being down around 40% from the peak utilization. Kansas City has had 31 deaths on a population of 500,000. They’ve had 99 murders.

NIH study on Surgical Mask Induced Deoxygenation

LINK

quote:

Objectives: This study was undertaken to evaluate whether the surgeons' oxygen saturation of hemoglobin was affected by the surgical mask or not during major operations.

Methods: Repeated measures, longitudinal and prospective observational study was performed on 53 surgeons using a pulse oximeter pre and postoperatively.

Results: Our study revealed a decrease in the oxygen saturation of arterial pulsations (SpO2) and a slight increase in pulse rates compared to preoperative values in all surgeon groups. The decrease was more prominent in the surgeons aged over 35.

Conclusions: Considering our findings, pulse rates of the surgeon's increase and SpO2 decrease after the first hour. This early change in SpO2 may be either due to the facial mask or the operational stress. Since a very small decrease in saturation at this level, reflects a large decrease in PaO2, our findings may have a clinical value for the health workers and the surgeons.

Don't bring facts to an emotional debate. People don't like that.

Yep, just like the "Duck And Cover" nuclear attach drills I went through every year of grade school in the late 50's and into the 60's.

Pushing the wearing of masks is further perpetuation of the hoax involving the severity of this pandemic. Ok, it’s a global virus with a high survival rate. Check.

Sorry I forget sometimes how much I have to dumb it down for y’all to understand.


Condescension isn't something libs shy away from. I completely understand you should never ever step foot outside your little insulated bubble for you might catch something. Ohhh...get off the internet too, i hear there's all sorts of viruses there too.
