I spent three years standing at an O.R. Table wearing a mask all day, so I agree with you. Shall we add that most people do not expel all of the air in their lungs with every breath before sucking in more, so there is always residual CO2 in their lungs. Somehow we survive.
However, the new fad for paper lunch bags or plastic grocery bags filled with air, then taped to the face will usually lead to an increase of CO2 in the blood, though they may also cure hiccups.
