If this was so please explain how for 100 years doctors and nurses can wear them in surgery for 5, 6, 7 hours in surgery. I had surgery for 8 hours how did The dr survive.
My thoughts are people are uses homemade mask to thick and they hard to breathe. I have seen people with a mask and a bunch of tissue stuffed under them. Follow the guide line by the CCD and you will be fine.

Fake news.

Hilarious—thanks for a good laugh!!!

Then again, it might improve some folks (or at least ‘lower their volume’...)!

Why then aren’t all surgeons and OR personnel dead?

This is terrible for all the germaphobics and crowd police in TV. Now, the people who don't wear a mask will kill them, and if they wear a mask they will kill themselves. Its just a big conspiracy to kill them! I watched a football game last night on a rerun, and am pretty sure they were talking about you in the huddle!

You can say that again!

Apparently, the thought of wearing a mask causes some people to develop dead space between the ears....

But his mask was only over his eyes!

I've noticed how strange it is to see people with masks from their neck to their eyes. Even stranger when wearing sunglasses. Rarely am I indoors anywhere but my own home so I'm talking about people I see outdoors. It's not the mask itself that is strange, but that it seems to turn them into a non person. A faceless expressionless mummy that doesn't even attempt a hello with a wave of the hand. Where did the smiles that I've come to love in TV go? So glad most don't wear the masks outdoors and remain friendly. Also happy that they are respectful of distancing.

A lack of oxygen to the brain is quite similar to how many of us write our thoughts in TOTV. Perhaps we should be wearing our masks while typing out our responses?

Just use a mask with an exhaust valve. They are better for hot climates anyway. One way valve. Bikers use them.
Btw, you are also likely to reacted to the fabric and filter media too. Wash the mask before using if allowed. Formaldehyde and synthetic fabric odors bother many people.

Interesting possibility with an N95 mask. Driver in crash may have passed out from wearing N95 mask too long: Police - ABC News

Smiles are eaten by the deadly accumulation of carbon dioxide in the ‘dead space’ behind the mask AND between the ears! Honestly, everyone knows this....

Unbelievable---someone picked up the term "dead space", probably from the internet, and then throws it around like they have any idea what it means. Since the mask will be in close proximity to your lips, it does not increase dead space. (the OP's statement was "Apparently breathing CO2 from wearing a mask increases dead space", which is even more absurd). If someone had end stage COPD the added layer of obstruction MIGHT add to CO2 retention, but those people are generally on supplemental O2 anyway and not wearing paper masks.
Someone else posted that MOST people don't expel all the air when exhaling. How about ALL people, and all land mammals as well, otherwise we'd have total lung atelectasis.
A little knowledge...………….
Good post.

Please stay stop reading and believing everything you read.[/B] Yes its true the N95 Mask can reduce the level of Oxygen by about 20 % . If you are trained on the use its not a problem . Good or bad news The N95 is the mask every one wants because its the most effective however unless you are in the medical profession they are extremely hard to get
