I've been in a lot of hospitals over the years as a patient and visitor. I saw very few medical staff wearing masks even in the ICU. Only since the Covid virus have I seen widespread use of masks by medical personnel. Also did you ever check your oxygen level while you were wearing a mask? I seriously doubt it. Medical personnel are for the most part younger people in reasonably good health vs older people with existing health problems or just older bodies that aren't functioning at optimal levels. Does it not make sense that an older person may have a lower oxygen level while wearing a mask?
