      I'm no doc, but there is a marked difference between a N95 and a surgical mask.

      I have no clue if any studies have ever been done on long term surgical mask usage.

        Not that I've ever seen. But, what do I know? I only spent 1976 to 2016 in an operating room.

        Yup. We would wear N95s for some cases. They were much more uncomfortable and restrictive. However, I never experienced SOB or any other symptoms.

        It was just a bigger PIA than usual.

          Well that guy definitely doesn't like masks.

          If you google the publication that published the article, it's got a pretty checkered history.

              Interesting that no one who actually wear masks complain about any of these.

              It’s a tragic way to lose a suburban and urban audience, maybe for good. It takes disconnected people to buy into this.

              It really is becoming a circular firing squad.

                Some of the same people (not Jolly!) who claim that masks are damaging people, are also frequently the ones saying that Covid isn't actually that bad.

                It's hard to argue with that logic.

                          Allowing people to smoke tobacco wherever they damn well please isn't freedom, since it harms other people. The people smoking are actually adversely affecting other people's freedom.

                          And the the theory of the mask is that it protects others more than the wearer.

                                      When you can’t wear a mask after 500,000 plus people have died, you really shouldn’t participate in society.

                                      I have no problem with freedom lovers staying home.

                                      I just can’t stomach the arguments anymore and it’s likely to impact the way I vote.

                                        I've always been skeptical of the effectiveness of the masks, particularly when looking at data where masks are used (North Dakota) and not used (South Dakota). Skeptical, however, doesn't mean "denial."

                                        I simply don't know enough, and I really doubt that anyone really does.

                                        But that's not the point.

                                        This is not about my "freedom." My "freedom" is not affected by putting a piece of 3 layer paper on my face. I can still do whatever the hell I want, go wherever the hell I want.

                                        I wear a mask. No big deal. If you think it's a big deal, there's something wrong with your value system.

                                          Opinions become "facts," based upon data which is what someone with a title said. Or, it's "data" because it was printed somewhere, a self-serving Journal is good enough. Then, facts become data, or data becomes facts. Not sure how that works. But, all these facts and data certainly fill the airwaves, one can find pretty much facts and data to support a predetermined outcome. Neat system!

                                          Masks curtail or infringe upon my 1st amendment rights of freedom of speech. With a mask, people cannot hear my wisdom nonsense as well as without a mask. I'm waiting for a call back from the ACLU. Doubly-neat system!
