Quote HistoryQuoted: Fair enough. Though as an aside, speaking as someone who has been down half a lung for a couple decades, even the cloth masks make a difference for me. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Speaking for myself, I don't care what you wear----but I rather dislike being told that I must wear a security blanket or face 6 months in jail or a $500 fine. ETA: Especially since they can cause a decrease in blood oxygenation. Seems kinda dumb to deliberately make myself dumber, give myself a headache, and raise my BP. Thankfully Bloen and I live in a state where the government allows people and businesses to make their own decisions on wearing masks. Which probably explains why were wondering why this is such a big deal. The reduction in air flow is a potential problem for some people, although for cloth masks and surgical masks it's negligible and won't make much difference. For N95s and other types of respirators it is a real consideration for those who already have reduced lung function; if you're healthy and have no other issues then you won't even notice it. Fair enough. Though as an aside, speaking as someone who has been down half a lung for a couple decades, even the cloth masks make a difference for me. That doesn't surprise me in your case; reducing lung capacity by about 25% is going to make a big difference.

Seriously though, I will just do my best to not be around anyone known with it, and if I KNEW people had it, and I HAD to be near them, I would have the best protection on that I could.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dreiwhit: I had to go to Costco today to pick up a few things and get a prescription. Since they require people to wear masks, I figured i'll wear my dual cartridge half face respirator with filters rated to stop the virus. I've used this mask when working in the shop and its easy to breath through and has an exhalation port. However, after wearing it for 30 minutes while walking around Costco and waiting it in line, I didn't feel good. I felt like I feel when my asthma flares up and I'm having difficulty breathing. I wish I had taken my portable pulse O2 meter with me to see what my O2 levels were. I realized that this mask is great and comfortable, but I had never worn it while walking around for a half hour. Only sitting or standing in my shop.

Only sitting or standing in my shop. When the shutdown started, our shop was deemed 'essential'. Boss had to go to some meeting, then came back and told us what rules we had to follow. He handed out one surgical mask to each employee, and said that was all he could get. I tied it over the exhaust valve of my half face respirator, and have been wearing that at work, since. Wipe the respirator down with alcohol, every few days. Change out the P95 pre-filters, from time to time. The first week sucked, but then I got used to it (seem to have gotten into the habit of taking deeper breaths, when I wear it). Normally, I go through hell for a few weeks, every spring. Minimum of two weeks, and there have been years when it seemed to come and go for about six weeks. Sneezing, itchy eyes, sinus drainage, feeling half dead (and half wishing I was dead, at times). This spring, I've had the itchy eyes, but the only time I've had the other symptoms, was a week or so ago, when I cut the grass. Just wearing the respirator at work, and when I go to Kroger (every week or two), and I can apparently ignore the pollen (other than what it's doing to my eyes). |

So much of this was "not invented here" syndrome and unwillingness to admit the Far East was more advanced on the subject than we were. There is still risk of contamination if you are exposed and if you get your grubby exposed hands on the inside of the mask, but that pales compared to the demonstrated herd benefits by reducing the opportunities for the virus to get on surfaces in the first place. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By unseenSNIPER: Why do seeing people with masks on rustle your jimmies so much? Worry about yourself. I don’t give a shit when I see someone not wearing a mask. Yet people who wear a mask get shit on by those who don’t think masks are necessary. What happened to MYOB? This is bizarre. It's the reasonings people use. If you think it protects you/me/Nessi, cool. It's just weird to be like "They're useless, dumb, I'm against them!" but then be like "Well, I'll wear one if you tell me I have to." Just makes you wonder where people draw the line on giving the pie away...for many it doesn't start or stop here. Again, I don't care who wears them...but if you're against it yet conform, "because...." you're just giving some of the pie away. That's my point this entire time. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GarandM1: Another parallel is how the medical community made the argument back in January about how they were the only ones "professional enough" to use a mask properly. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GarandM1: Originally Posted By Bohr_Adam: Originally Posted By JPN: Originally Posted By Bloencustoms: question for those who can't stand to see other people wearing masks. Why can't you just MYOB? It can really give you a chuckle, when someone starts talking to you about 'living in fear of the virus' (because you have a mask on), and the person in question is wearing protective gear for some activity that they were just doing, or are about to do. It's even more amusing, given that I occasionally do things at work that OSHA wants me to wear a mask for. The way it parallels the anti CCW propaganda from the Left is what amuses me the most. The only possible reason anyone might mask is because they are paranoid and irrational. They're probably untrained and will end up harming themselves or a loved one. Another parallel is how the medical community made the argument back in January about how they were the only ones "professional enough" to use a mask properly. "Not 'professional enough'" - I'm using a respirator. Same type that I am supposed to be wearing for certain tasks at my job. I was fitted for the same type of respirator (may have been a different model number), over 25 years ago. "Living in fear" - It's protective equipment, same as various other pieces of protective equipment I am supposed to use at work. "Only a small risk" - Yeah, about that... This whole mess led to me noticing that my Medic Alert card disappeared from my wallet, at some point. I guess I need to see if I can find my bracelet (got it when I was still in elementary school, so it hasn't fit in decades) and contact them about updating my address and getting a new card. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RolandofGilead: Bizarre is the only word I can think of. Choose your battles. No one here will argue with you the "Bizarre" world we are living in these days, AFAIK. Right is south, up is sideways, left is backwards, real is made up, etc.. I blame democrats. The issue in this thread is wearing masks.. For whose benefit though? I wasn't clear on I think Cow something's point regarding vented unfiltered N95's.. If I wear a mask, it is for my benefit. To the people that don't like the fact it is vented as designed for the wearer's safety, I'd say they can stay home or wear one for their own safety.. It is the .gov that says people must wear a mask for OTHER peoples' safety. Those people have the problem of life as it is. Stay home safe in the basement. You can get killed walking your dog, mask or no mask. 2020 sucks ass.  |

Quote HistoryHey! If I added some good (unvented) goggles, I would effectively have that. Goggles seem to be out of stock, everywhere. |

If you wear a mask to protect me, how about you keep your sick ass at home where it belongs. Or better yet do is all a favor and wear a plastic bag over your head and seal it with duct tape.

If we're going to practice mass civil disobedience let's do it for something worthwhile. Let's open all our small businesses. Let's all drill 3rd holes and thread some oil filters lol. Masks? Meh. |
