The average breath is 500 cc. That is like a sixteen ounce coke in size. Compare that to the retained volume of a mask.
Son you can readily see that most of the air you inhale will be above 20%.
OSHA 1910.134(d)(2)(iii) allows 16%.
Even if the mask fills with 17% oxygen concentration, most of the air inhaled is from the atmosphere, which if normal, results in breathing air with an oxygen concentration greater than 20%.
Per your referenced letter:
“Therefore, in addition to the protection afforded to them by altitude acclimation, OSHAs Respiratory Protection Standard ensures that employees working under oxygen-deficient conditions at altitude will have an adequate and reliable breathing supply consisting of 19.5 percent oxygen, an oxygen content that will provide the employees exposed to these conditions with a substantial margin of safety.”
At an altitude of 8000 feet, the effective sea level concentration is 15%, which provides a substantial margin of safety.
Think 19.4 is low? Try 9.5%
You can acclimatize to high altitudes in your own home? Even at sea level?
An altitude generator can produce varying oxygen levels from sea level (20.9% oxygen) to 20,000 feet to 6000 meters (9.5% oxygen). By breathing “rare air”, you can pre-acclimatize before you leave home.
You can climb, run, ski, or bike at high altitudes without altitude sickness and, because altitude creates new red blood cells, with more speed and endurance.
Yawn, all bullshit...N95’s are good down to 3 microns. Virus are attached to droplets which are larger. Even well made homemade masks offer protection for not just others but for the wearers. But, if you are too afraid to wear a mask thats fine just keep your ass out of public places.
Even at 3 microns the virus is 250 times smaller. I’m not afraid to wear a mask but I’m also not afraid to not wear one. You seem to be the one afraid to go without one. I will go where I want, when I want without a mask and you can wear your mask to protect yourself from me. Better yet, just keep your ass out of public places and stay locked in your house. Better for all of us.
Thats cause you are a coward. I wear masks to protect myself and others. I am patriotic so i wear one. Yahoos like you put the Presidents reelection at risk, definitely will destroy the economy, and kill hundreds of thousands. Do don’t pretend youre doing this as an act of independence, you’re just a misguided, selfish, and reckless person.
The data disagrees with you. 43,581 new cases yesterday; 47,341 new cases the day before. These are numbers we haven’t seen since April and fewer than 10% of the population has been tested. But sure, keep telling yourself there’s no second wave if that’s what helps you sleep at night.
Well, of course Mike Pence is going to deny that there’s a second wave. Politicians lie. All the time. Particularly when they’re facing re-election.

Funny thing. I was grocery shopping the other day and the two full carts ahead of me, both, took most of the 45 minutes I was waiting in line. Everyone in the store was "masked up." Maybe the cashier and shoppers had trouble focusing with that level of oxygen deprivation.
Masks are mandated in shopping areas.
Maybe I should order an oxygen tank from my friendly neighborhood Sherpa.

You know, they are making up the data you quote. They even forced sick covid-19 patients into nursing homes to infect/kill vulnerable elderly just to make those numbers go up.
There wasn’t a real first wave. There isn’t a real second wave. They are shutting down our country using lies.
Even our flu numbers are fake - they have been rolling flu numbers in with pneumonia to get higher numbers to fan the fake need for everyone to get a vaccine. It’s all fake and people are asleep to it, quoting fake numbers and fanning fake fears.
I work in a healthcare setting and am forced to wear these stupid things, and I am noticing that lately I am also prone to headaches. Didn’t make the correlation before but am more worried about the potential health risks from masks than getting this stupid virus.
Thank you, Jane.
Ann Coulter’s latest article claims they’re IMPORTING Chine Flu cases, from Mexico.
Infected border crossers (Mexico is having their spike, now) are being flown, in the dead of night, to Riverside CA.
Keep those CV case counts up....even if they’re NOT truly US cases.

You’re welcome!
I hear you. I work in the environmental services department in a hospital in southern NJ(Barnabas Health Care). I get the occasional headache but what I’m noticing is, I suppose because of moisture from breathing through the nostrils there are, pardon the expression ‘’snot scabs’’ that form inside my nostrils.
My wife is a heart monitor tech for Hackensack Meridian
Health and she’s noticing the same thing. We use a drawing salve to get rid of the damn things. This mask wearing has got to come to an end. I’m almost to the point of going insane. Thank God for Xanax.

You are confusing the number of positive tests with the number of positive people. An increased rate of testing will also give increasing positives. Pretty simple.
An increased rate of testing will also give increasing positives.
You make a good point but test positivity is also on the rise again.

Do you have any evidence to back up that claim? Evidence from reputable scientists, that is, not politicians and business leaders who have a vested interest in sweeping all this under the rug and pretending everything is fine.
There wasnt a real first wave. There isnt a real second wave.
Take a look at the graph, FRiend. Looks like we're entering a second wave to me.

If everything really is that fake then it should be easy for you to support your claims. Really, you are asking me to believe that a guy I know who had it and was laid up in the hospital for 2 weeks is somehow faking it. Is he part of this grand conspiracy too? When the claims of some random Freeper do not match up with what the scientists are saying and what I have observed with my own eyes and ears, I tend to believe my own senses and the data.
The Dems are covering their tracks, but one document to a rest home was saved and sent to Steve Scalise to prove the assertions re forcing Covid-19 patients into elder care facilities. In response, Scalise has sent letters to the 5 Dem's involved but they are refusing to cooperate.
China is helping to collapse US economy and force mail in votes to help traitors in our government steal the election. Since the first virus isn't holding us down well enough, they appear to be cookign up another to hit the us with (not the approval with which it's cited):
Flu virus with 'pandemic potential' found in China
The Covid-19 scam is going on world-wide and is being used as a tool to crush the public and elevate totalitarian control. Hint - the one-world government types are working together to make it happen:
I never said no one had Covid-19, I've said it's beeing fanned into fake proportions to justify killing the US economy and quarantining healthy people. Now, we all have our cell phones updating without our consent to carry the Covid-19 app that they will use to literally track us everywhere we go.
