I am in a mask mandated state, in a suburban area that is very compliant.
I have been having some work done on my house for a month. Every time a worker comes in they have a mask, and every time I tell them they don't need to wear it unless they want to at my house. Some immediately take it off and smile, others keep it on. Today I am happy to say there are 5 guys from 3 different companies in my house, 3 of whom kept the mask on in previous visits, Not one guy is wearing a mask today, all in the same room. It is a glorious site to see.
My wife thought I was annoying people by saying something every time. I thought I might be annoying them too, but kept doing it. And now I have seen these great results.
In the past they have found that surgeons that wear a mask for long surgeries were getting hypoxic. Can you imagine the surgeon's brain is not getting enough oxygen? What are the consequences for his skill and thinking during surgery?
Also, many people do jobs that require a lot of energy. They need to breathe. Even jobs that don't require a lot of energy- people need to breathe!
It's uncomfortable and stupid.
I have just read that they are saying a 4 month old baby can wear a mask. What about SIDS? All these mask rules are NOT based on science/reality.
STOP THE MADNESS!!!
you are correct, this is not sciemce. There are no true studies of mask efficacy in public.
