Why do you think surgeons wear masks, anon? The inside of the mask prevents the surgeon from coughing or drooling on the patient, whereas the outside of the mask protects the surgeon from ingesting blood or bacteria. The same applies to the surgical masks we wear now.

In Japan, people wear masks as part of their culture when they get sick, and it's something that was thought of as being unnecessary in the West for ages. But now, we're all wearing masks for the same reason. While the flu may not be as contagious as COVID-19, on a crowded train it makes no difference.

in January, before this shit got serious but we could see it on the horizon, the CDC came to the white house and warned we wouldn't have enough masks or tests for everybody and they NEEDED to use the defense production act. Trump and the White House responded to the CDC with (and I'm paraphrasing here) "don't worry, we have a plan for the mask shortage, we'll just tell everyone not to wear masks, and save them all for the doctors and important people"

Members of the CDC insisted telling people not to wear masks was a bad idea, and some insisted so much that THEY GOT FIRED for it. Remember, this was happening way back in January before we even had covid in the US. They were planning this shit this badly before it even began!! And yes, there are records of people being fired over this and lawsuits are playing out in the courts about it even as you read this.

Part of it is due to the cultural obsession with virtue signaling. Masks are a very visible way of signaling that you're virtuous.

I won't debate you because you're absolutely correct. At the start of the pandemic every single doctor and nurse in the world was saying that masks can potentially be useful for people who are sneezing or coughing uncontrollably, but that everyone wearing them regardless of symptoms is foolish.
They universally agreed that people should focus on social distance, washing hands, and not touching their face, also citing that wearing a mask all day promotes more face touching and general uncleanliness because of the need to adjust the mask and the fact that people were never replacing or washing their masks.
But then, one day, the government decided to make masks a requirement in public in response to complaints that the government wasn't doing enough to manage the spread of the virus. OVERNIGHT ALL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS SUDDENLY CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND SAID MASKS ARE NECESSARY FOR EVERYONE.
It's a fucking political stunt, security theater, and people literally going back on their scientifically-backed beliefs because "Well, if the government is mandated then it must be good! Time to make retroactive rationalizations to confirm what we're being told to do is right!"

>>12246590
>It is not the govt it is the science that mandates it.
No, you're fucking wrong. All the medical science we have shows that people wearing masks don't do shit to limit the spread of contagious illnesses. Studies have been done for decades comparing western countries where mask-wearing is not common to eastern countries where mask-wearing is common practice, and those countries don't show any appreciable difference in transmission rates despite the fact that they culturally promote habitual mask use during these very types of situations and have done so for a very long time.
Again, all the doctors were saying just a few months ago that wearing masks in response to any pandemic is unnecessary and potentially more harmful than not wearing masks. You can go on the CDC's own website right now and find articles that state wearing masks does nothing to prevent the spread of influenza. It wasn't until AFTER the governments started mandating mask use that the medical science magically started "supporting" the use of masks. It was a political move from the start and it's in the government's interest to propagandize the supposed effectiveness of masks because their whole goal is to reduce the hysteria and convince people that they're taking action against the pandemic. It's theatrics for the gullible, not real science.

>Sars-cov-19 spreads riding on water droplets that get filtered by medical masks

Depending on humidity in the air any waterdroplet between 60 and 120 micrometers will evaporate in a few seconds, before it falls to the floor(lower humidity lets bigger droplets evaporate, increasing seasonal transmission outside of summer months). These remnant nuclei of the droplets(under 5 micrometer in size, contaning phlegm, proteins, enzymes, bacteria and viruses in various mixes and ratios) remain suspended in the air and travel with turbulence and air streams.

Dependent on particle size an N95 mask still let through 5% of particles. A surgical mask is virtually N0, it doesn't act as a proper filter as it forms no seal and thus airstreams bypass it. Also due to redirecting the airflow from breathing, coughing and sneezing upwards, the droplet dispersion have a longer time window to evaporate in before falling to the floor, giving a realistic mechanism where they WORSEN airborne transmission.

These droplets can be formed in great numbers simply by breathing. There's individual variation.

N95s appear to at first glance help due to having a high filtration rate. But the studies don't agree with that.

Probably because aerosols can deposit on eyeballs and find their way into the nasal cavity from there. and being N95 masks and thus still letting through a significant amount of the hundred million particles that end up hanging around after some breathing among other people. The sheer particles with a high infectivity amount overwhelms the decently high filtration rate.

It's like dressing your soldiers in full body armor suits that just leaves a tiny face opening, because your lab test against pistols showed spectacular effectivity. Then you send them out on a no-mans land to charge straight against enemies who have full-auto airburst frag grenade launchers as standard equipment.

You want masks that stand a chance of preventing infections: full face N100.

Let's indeed. If I'm not allowed to dismiss one doctor, why are you allowed to dismiss the majority of doctors who disagree with her? My biggest complaint isn't her questioning the use of masks, it's that she's stating as a fact that they'll cause irreversible brain damage without providing supporting evidence.

>People living in higher altitudes adapt
That conflicts with her argument. Her claim is there is no adaption, you simply stop feeling ill, which allows the damage to continue silently. Studies based on longevity show that living at altitude is likely beneficial, at least to a certain point. I haven't seen any evidence that surgical masks reduce oxygen levels to the point of oxygen deprivation.

Too little and way too late. By the time Trump tried to ban travel, the virus had a foothold in the US. It's like locking the doors after the horses have left the barn.

The travel ban was political kabuki theater because they knew they acted too late but needed to create an appearance of doing something.

Because the Dems were preventing Trump from doing it by literally calling it racist and cockblocking it. Democratic representatives were going as far as encouraging people to gather in Chinese neighborhoods for Chinese New Year celebrations and saying that being afraid of coronavirus is stupid.
>Genetic analyses have shown that the large epidemic that unfolded in New York was linked to travelers from Europe.
Because Europe was late to the game in blocking travel to and from China, too. Remember when Italy had "Hug a Chinese Day" in response to racism related to "overreactions" over coronavirus? Because I do, it unfolded similar to what happened in the US: People who were pro-travel-restrictions were called racist for the longest time. Europe woke up before the US did, but neither reacted fast enough because of stupid "anti-racist" bullshit.

A false sense of security is often more dangerous than a bit of fear/insecurity. If you know that there's a certain danger you'll act in a more cautious way to avoid it and ultimately remain safe from the danger. If you think the danger is completely alleviated when it isn't you won't behave as cautiously and you'll be more likely to fall victim to that same danger.

Case in point:
>people who think that social distancing no longer applies when they wear a mask
>people who think they can cough and sneeze into the open air instead of their sleeve because they're wearing a mask
>people who think they don't need to wash their hands as often (or ever) because they're wearing a mask

In my anecdotal experience, ever since the mask mandate went into effect everyone has actually been taking fewer of these other important precautions because they think everyone wearing a mask negates the need. I'd rather have everyone maskless and cautious than masked and reckless.

Becuase the masks don't protect agains the viruses. The most effective masks are only effective agains particles at least 3 times the size of the virus.
There is no discourse, about this topic. You only have insitutions telling you to wear the mask and anyone who says otherwise is censored. Those doctors saying you should wear a mask are not putting their credentials and credibility on the line, you don't even know their names. You only head that "the CDC says this, the WHO says that" and anything that points their flaws is for the most part censored.
The main doctor who is a proponent of most of the measures in place is Fauci, who was involved in some really shady shit relating to the HIV virus and stems to make a lot of money from the measures in place resulting from this pandemic.

The video i posted above shows how the oxgen concentration in the air you inhale is reduced.
It's not that the CO2 gets trapped. It's that it doesn't escape immediatelly, part of it gets concentrated on the inside of the mask while you go for another breath, thus forcing you to recycle it.

There is actually quite a bit of debate in the scientific community as to whether COVID-19 is actually a droplet or aerosol transmission. Not that anyone would draw your attention to it, because aerosol transmission would indeed mean that masks are entirely ineffective. You can search for "COVID-19 aerosol" and find scientific papers on the matter as well as articles of scientists disagreeing over the transmission methods.

What is neurogenesis and BDNF? It certainly doesn't sound permanent to me, not that I recommend going and getting brain damaged, but it's quite capable of some recovery. That's not really the part I'm arguing over anyway, because discussing the degree of injury prior to proving there is any injury seems superfluous.

I've never seen anything showing that kids growing up at higher elevations end up with below average brain development, nor have I seen any evidence that people wearing masks end up with dangerously low levels of hypoxia.

>I know this because I work in the aviation industry.
I'm in the USA and have never heard of anything of the sort. I even attempted to google it. I found papers from multiple countries discussing hypoxia in aviation, but none mentioned anything about permanent damage or early retirement, just that it's something to be aware of even below 10k feet in terms of how it affects performance.

Btw, I have a pulse oximeter and have measured my oxygen throughout the day wearing a mask for 4-5 hours straight and a total of 8 hours (never removing it except for lunch). I've never seen my oxygen saturation fall below 98%.

I believe it can aerosolize under certain conditions, but it seems to be far less contagious than other true airborne diseases, so I seriously doubt aerosols as being the primary means of spread. Even in conditions that can cause aerosol spread, masks are associated with less severe disease. They likely do block some of the aerosols, though obviously not enough to prevent infection, but reducing severity of disease is just as important.

It's not permanent damage. Pilots can keep working for as long as their medical is valid. I'm not not sure about the US regulation but in my country, pilots earn compensation for spending several hours at an 8000ft cabin altitude, since it's know to take a toll on the body.

I'm going with the lack of evidence of brain damage from living at elevation to mean masks are likely safe, along with medical workers using them for decades and decades. On the other hand, we have little evidence to show that there won't be long term damage from this particular virus, and we do have evidence that even mild cases showed heart inflammation 6 months after infection.

Medical workers never used to wear masks for entire shifts at a time every single day.

All of these cases have been accompanied by some other actually severe condition. The WHO had an explicit guideline to diagnose and treat based on symtoms alone. The pcr test itself is not meant for diagnosis. That was stated by the creator of the test. They haven't purified and isolated the virus, is hasn't even been sujected to what they call Gold standard in isolating a virus.

You are overlooking the fact that the virus has not been purified and isolated, it's hasn't been subjected to the gold standard and you can basically manupulate the amounts of cycles of amplifications in the PCR test to the point where anyone tests positive.

Anon, I have a family member on three liters of oxygen to maintain their oxygen saturation at 97%. Below 95%, their respiratory rate increases. Below 90%, they can no longer think clearly. Below 80%, they're barely coherent. They're well aware of when they're starting to struggle even at the milder levels. Severe hypoxia is very noticeable.

But I'm still not seeing how masks would reduce oxygen. We ordinarily inhale .5 liters per breath, and have an expiratory reserve volume of 1.2 liters. A typical mask is going to hold far less air than that, so the bulk of the air we inhale will be from outside of the mask, and the amount the mask could retain will be small compared to the ERV. It doesn't sound plausible to me, and it certainly doesn't sound plausible that it could cause issues without increasing respiratory and heart rates.

I feel like you're changing the argument now, because you said severe hypoxia and now you're showing a video of mild hypoxia.

The mask video doesn't show us much of anything since those monitors aren't intended for use in a confined spot like that. It's likely just picking up his exhaled air, which is coincidentally about 16%. Would be interesting for him to actually stick the monitor in his mouth (not at the corner) without wearing the mask, I bet it would still trigger the alarm since the device can't adjust fast enough to compensate for the difference between inhaled and exhaled air. Again, we retain 1.2 liters of air every time we exhale, how the heck is a mask going to significantly alter that amount? That doesn't seem logical, we're always retaining our own air, and we inhale enough air with each breath that we'd have to pull air from outside the mask. Increased CO2 would lead to hypercapnia, and I've yet to read of that happening while wearing a surgical mask.

I already did explain it. Why would it magically stop at 17% if it's caused by air retention? The oxygen we exhale is always lower than the oxygen we exhale. If the mask is causing retention, then we'd inhale less oxygen each time, and exhale less oxygen each time. The number wouldn't just stabilize like that, it would continue to fall and you'd pass out. The meter is picking up exhaled air and doesn't have enough time to adjust for the inhaled breath. Even when he removes it from under the mask, you can see how slowly it adjusts to the ambient air. When he did the first test without the mask, he's breathing right past the meter, he should have placed it in his mouth so the meter would detect his exhaled breath. If the small amount air that a mask retains is dangerous, then we should all be dead from the much more substantial amount of air that we retain in our respiratory tracts after every exhale.

This is what pisses me off. I assume people are able to meet a minimum baseline of intelligence but more often than not I realize what a mistake it was.
It's not magic. Can't you just think for a moment? Try using your brain???
When you exhale air, with a mask, the region under the mask forms a pocket of air. That pocket of air will be made out of the air you exhale, before it's completely released in the open. That air you exhale still has oxygen, but at a lower concentration. The 17% is the oxygen concentration of the air you exhale mixed with some of the air under the mask.
> The meter is picking up exhaled air and doesn't have enough time to adjust for the inhaled breath.
He leaves the meter there for a while, measuring that pocket of air. The reading doesn't fluctuate, it reaches then it stays at 17% while under the mask. Not a delay of adjustment.
>he should have placed it in his mouth so the meter would detect his exhaled breath.
The point of the meter is measuring the air going in, if anything, placing the meter slightly on the side would help give it a higher % of oxygen.

And you'll inhale it again, yes? And then you'll exhale even less oxygen. Rinse and repeat. It wouldn't magically stop at the level that we exhale air at when at 21% ambient oxygen. That tells you the device is only reading the air that's being exhaled and not the new incoming air.

>The reading doesn't fluctuate, it reaches then it stays at 17% while under the mask.
Exactly, because it can't adjust to every breath, so it's not giving an accurate reading. Not surprising, because the device is meant to be used it much larger areas without major oxygen fluctuations.

>The point of the meter is measuring the air going in, if anything, placing the meter slightly on the side would help give it a higher % of oxygen.
The point is we're all exhaling air at a lower percentage than what we inhaled. He places it at the corner of his mouth without the mask on to show what it's measuring, but that's a bullshit comparison, because it's measuring ambient air and not his breath. If he places it in his mouth so it's forced to calculate his exhaled air (the same as it does with the mask), you would see the oxygen level drop.

>You are not recycling the air in your tracts
So you're telling me the air that's remaining in the mouth, sinuses, and esophagus after an exhale isn't being pulled back into the lungs? I'd love for you to explain that to me.

Also, since you work in the super secret airline business that you can't discuss, I thought you might like this study. Even at simulated 5k feet at 17.61% oxygen (rather than sea level 21%), masks caused no adverse effects.

The COVID-19 pandemic has required people to take new measures to mitigate the spread of the communicable
virus. Guidelines from health organizations, government offices, and universities have been disseminated.
Adherence to these guidelines cannot be more critical for flight training. This study explored the effects face masks
had on CO2, heart rate, respiration rate, and oxygen saturation while wearing a face mask at an oxygen level
simulated to 5,000 feet. Thirty-two instructor pilots (IP) volunteered to participate in the study. IPs spent 90 minutes
in a normobaric chamber while wearing a cloth face mask or a paper face mask. Participants were measured before
entering the chamber, at the 15-minute mark, at the 45-minute mark, at the 90-minute mark, and after exiting the
chamber where they briefly removed their mask for a final measurement. No differences were found between type
of face mask. Wearing face masks did not present any potential health or safety issues for the IPs. However, IPs did
report moderate dislikes (e.g., comfort, issues with fatigue, restriction of movement) of wearing face masks.
Although face masks may be a nuisance, it does not appear to create any health or safety issues at a simulated
altitude of 5,000 feet

No, that would be the case if the mask was sealed, but since it isn't you just have a delay in the air that's exhaled being released into the open, that delay is what causes you to recycle some of the air you just exhaled, thus breathing air with lesx O2 %

Yup. Too bad there's no group that didn't wear masks as a comparison, which I already mentioned.

Not sure where you're getting that from, exercise can drop oxygen saturation in a hurry, within minutes. Meanwhile I've worn a mask for 8 hours with no drop. If I'm not being damaged by exercise that's clearly lowering my oxygen saturation, then why should I be concerned about a mask that isn't?

MSA Safety, the manufacturer of the device used by Neff — an ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector — also told us that there are issues with using the device for such a test.

“Although the ALTAIR 5X detects the ambient levels of oxygen, carbon monoxide and other gases, it is not designed for the use shown,” Samantha D’Uva, a spokeswoman for the company, said in an email. “It is a portable gas detector designed for applications where there is a need to detect potentially hazardous or combustible atmospheres in factories, rooms, work areas, and confined spaces much larger than the area inside a face covering.”

D’Uva continued: “When used to sample the air behind a face mask, the wearer’s exhaled breath would displace oxygen and subsequently put the ALTAIR 5X into oxygen alarm. The same thing would happen if you simply exhaled into the sample line. Due to the response and recovery time of the oxygen sensor, combined with the small space inside of the mask, the readings would not have time to reset before the next exhalation, resulting in a continuous alarm.”


That's exactly what I said. Why do none of these videos show a test without a mask where the person exhales directly onto the device? The alarm would go off, but then they wouldn't be able to claim it's the fault of the mask.

>In summary, when a pressurized piston or turboprop aircraft is in the high 20 flight levels and operating just as it was designed (cabin altitude of 10,000–12,000 feet), the pilot’s body is only being supplied with half the oxygen available at sea level. This, in turn, triggers the Bohr effect, further decreasing the amount of oxygen available to the brain and heart, which if the pilot is of mature age, are already compromised due to the narrowing of blood vessels. … Given this physiologic reality, is it really safe for pilots with grey hair and some common health issues such as elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, and possible arterial narrowing, to operate pressurized aircraft at their highest legal altitudes with cabin altitudes? The answer is probably not. But, if the pilot is willing, some steps can be taken to lower the physiologic risk to a more acceptable level, and it involves the use of supplemental oxygen.

If the reading is not reseting it means the % is not chaging for the meter. If it's not changing for the meter it's not chaging for your nose.
If what you are saying is true, we would see the % going up at some point as the air being inhaled and then having a delay to drop again.

Doses of mild hypoxia may actually be beneficial.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4073945/
Intermittent hypoxia (IH) is most often thought of for its role in morbidity associated with sleep-disordered breathing, including central nervous system pathology. However, recent evidence suggests that the nervous system fights back in an attempt to minimize pathology by increasing the expression of growth/trophic factors that confer neuroprotection and neuroplasticity. For example, even modest (“low dose”) IH elicits respiratory motor plasticity, increasing the strength of respiratory contractions and breathing. These low IH doses upregulate hypoxia-sensitive growth/trophic factors within respiratory motoneurons but do not elicit detectable pathologies such as hippocampal cell death, neuroinflammation, or systemic hypertension. Recent advances have been made toward understanding cellular mechanisms giving rise to IH-induced respiratory plasticity, and attempts have been made to harness the benefits of low-dose IH to treat respiratory insufficiency after cervical spinal injury. Our recent realization that IH also upregulates growth/trophic factors in nonrespiratory motoneurons and improves limb (or leg) function after incomplete chronic spinal injuries suggests that IH-induced plasticity is a general feature of motor systems. Collectively, available evidence suggests that low-dose IH may represent a safe and effective treatment to restore lost motor function in diverse clinical disorders that impair motor function.

The beautiful thing about the body is that it has a remarkable way of adjusting/adapting. And despite what was claimed earlier the brain is not cut off or deprioritized. The brain needs fresh oxygen and fuel (glucose)and it has its very own well developed regulatory system to maintain proper supply.

That said, I was thinking about something along those lines earlier. COPD has chronic reduced oxygen supply, so it would be interesting to see if that would cause an effect on the brain in the long run. I don't know. But in COPD you have actual measurable lower oxygen levels, which are nowhere close to what we measure while wearing masks.

Your body compensates for the impaired breathing.

If there were significant compensatory mechanisms happening you would notice. No?

In general no, plus there are people who say wearing a mask makes them feel worse

(you would)
What someone say they feel is pretty subjective and nonspecific.

Anyway. I'm off to bed. Despite our differences I appreciate the fairly civil discourse.

Doesn't matter if it's subjective or nonspecific, it's them noticing something. In general when something's wrong with you, you don't feel it as a precise scientific system, you just don't feel good. On the other hand, you might not notice anything, it's not as if you have complete body awareness.

True, but we have objective ways of measuring that everything is fine.

No we don't, we have ways of narrowing down probabilities of things being wrong but medical science is far from perfect.

Raised CO2 increases respiratory rate and heart rate. That's the compensatory mechanism.

>plus there are people who say wearing a mask makes them feel worse
Sure, and there's people who don't say that, and there's objective measures we can look at that show that for most people, there should be little or no risk. If someone feels awful wearing a mask, then I hope they're in a situation where they can minimize wearing one, but I'd also recommend they avoid catching SARS-CoV-2, because if a mask causes respiratory issues, then they're likely in a very high risk group.

I never said anything about raised CO2. Is that an effect you think masks have?

If you're rebreathing gases based on your argument, that would include CO2, yes?

>things besides pulse oximeters?
Heart rate, respiratory rate, CO2 and oxygen saturation, blood pressure, bicarbonate.

Explain how we have looked heart rates and respiratory rates and shown that for most people there is little or no risk (also, risk of what?)

Oh good, so what's your reasoning against masks?

They make me feel worse while I wear them, and I am dubious about their efficacy.

>> No.12255237

>>12255229
Well I don't particularly enjoy wearing them, though I tend to forget I have one on after a while. I do think they're efficacious, but that's another issue for another time. Good night, anon.

>> No.12255258

>>12255237
Night fren, I'm curious to know why you don't enjoy wearing them, although I don't wish to encourage insomnia. I think they are effective in a non-zero way, but it's such a small effect that it's outweighed by the inconvenience and various other costs, and are probably actively harmful if you don't follow proper hygienic protocol.

What about surgeons and dentists that have to wear masks for long periods of time as a part of their job?

>> No.12256175

>>12255952
Surgeons and dentists are typically neurologically developed by the time they've entered the career, plus they aren't wearing a mask continuously, the majority of their time is not spent in the operating room / dental zone
