“Thanks for clarifying that doc,”
Absolutly no problem.
” but yes you are inhaling carbon dioxide since its in a confined space between your nose and mask.” The mask is desinged for gas to pass through Carbodn dioxide doesnt get trapped it flows out (I mean sure a few molecules might hang around and get re-inhaled but so what)
” Oh the bacteria you already exhaled? Then what a great idea to inhale it back into your system genius.”
what would the harm be? These are bacteria that were already in your respiratory tract they doidnt pose ham on the first go around, why would exhaling them and re-inhaling the cause harm the second time?
” How about when you clean your runny nose or cough up mucus into a tissue just rub it back into your nose and mouth great idea. After all you it came out of your own system whats the harm in putting it back in?”
Seems gross but I’m not sure what the harm would be.
But I’ll throw this right back at you. How about clean your nose or cough up mucus and rub it on someone else’s nose. Because in the absence of a mask that is EXACTLY what you are suggesting.
“-oh thats right because thats what we were trying to treat with fresh air my mistake”
what?
“Oh so before it was ineffective to wear a mask since there was a shortage”
no.
Wearing a mask does littel to protect the wearer. Before it wasn’t fully appreciated how contagious asymptomatic people are. So given that there were not enough masks. Wearign it to ptotect yourself (when it doesn’t offer much protection) didnt make much sense. Save them for the far more exposed healthcare workers.
“masks are nothing new they have been around long enough for there to be enough research on them.”
No the masks arent new. but the virus is.
“Thanks doc. ”
You are most welcome.
“Would you be so kind as to appear on TV interviews and Youtube”
sure.
Please let me know if You have any other questions.
I have one for you though.
