Researchers Say Prolonged Mask Use Causes Psychological Discomfort, Physical Fatigue
National File ^ | 7/24/2020 | Tom Papport

Researchers in Germany published their research, finding that prolonged use of face masks, especially the N95 respirators considered to be among the most effective for limiting the spread of COVID-19, impairs the cardiopulmonary capacity, increases fatigue, and causes psychological discomfort when used for prolonged periods.

They state the obvious.

It’s not a bad look. Bonnie and Clyde.

Fauci probably knows this, and that’s why he takes his mask off when he thinks he can get away with it. But he wants you to wear it all the time.

I have my system for this. The other day we needed a Target run. Walked in with tube mask up, pulled it down as soon as I was walking with my cart, and went about my business. No one said a thing or gave me a second look.

(The sign on the door says “mask required to enter”.

I followed the rule.

I only wear one for a little over an hour a week and it drives me crazy! I don’t wear one at work and I rarely go into stores because they are required.

I’m saving money like crazy though.

When the mask is on, I can feel my mood deteriorating by the minute.

It’s like I’m wearing a horcrux on my face.

“psychological discomfort?”

Maybe for those that already have a psychological disorder.

Yesterday I had to go into a bank and had to stop outside the door to put on a mask. As I did, I looked inside and saw one of the tellers give a me a real concerned look.
I’m surprised we haven’t heard of shootings at mom and pop stores when some masked loud mouths enter.

I do the same thing. I suppose they'll start posting at the entrances to parking lots "masks required on premises" before long. Viva online shopping!

It’s really weird. I can wear a mask and even a cartridge respirator while working with hazardous chemicals or heavy dust with no issues.

But, slapping on a completely useless fashion mask for a jaunt to Walmart makes me absolutely sick. My heart rate rises, it’s difficult to breathe, my glasses steam up and I am perpetually angry.

It’s because the mask is not a symbol of safety. Instead it is nothing more than a yellow star, a symbol of repression and government control.

Thus, I wear one very infrequently.

I’m a complete hypocrite though. I’m helping to run a weeklong summer camp and just ordered $400 worth of Buff masks for all of the kids. I have no expectations that they will be worn. We spent the money just to be able to say that we provided them, useless as they may be.

I wear a thin single layer of gauze when absolutely required.

Killing the economy is the PLAN. They know the masks don’t kill the virus.

I know and through our business we have more than made up for the couple of thousand I’ve saved. We hired an extra employee too and we didn’t get a PPP loan.

We’ve been on several trips with gas, food and lodging, I just have nothing to spend any extra money on.
