I am concerned about healthy people being forced to breathe in carbon monoxide via their facemasks for hours on end, especially store clerks, medical personnel, and nursing home residents.
NO ONE in Big Media wants to talk about suicide or domestic violence anymore.
My husband and I went to McDonald’s this morning to have coffee and breakfast, our state actually opened inside dining on Monday. But, they only allowed takeout orders. We left, saying we would find a restaurant where we could actually enjoy a meal inside with out carrying it out. Anyway, all of these little old ladies working there had masks on covering mouth and nose. I wanted to say take those masks off! You’re making yourselves sick, but I didn’t. I’d already given them enough of a piece of my mind. I want our civilized society back where people enjoyed living. We actually ended up at a nice little diner.
You nean carbon dioxide? With my mask (required at my job), I have to breathe deeper to get fresh air into the mask. Of course deeper breathing increases the risk of infection, so who knows how useful it is. I think the chances of someone spreading via talking is reduced with a mask. OTOH, when I went to the farm store the other day, the clerk lowered her mask any time she talked.
You are right about that.
