I don't know, the time taken by washing hands every single time before returning to the kitchen after going to the bathroom adds up. It isn't like a mask where you just put it on and leave it alone. It is just wrong.Here's the thing, masks are different then washing hands. Washing hands takes a few seconds. Wearing a mask is all day for some people. Its just wrong.
If you are having issues breathing while wearing a simple cotton mask, you should be talking to your doctor rather than asking random strangers on the internet. It is not a normal reaction.OK I've got a bone to pick. I've read this below from some medical article and in my opinion there' just NO WAY this can be true. Opinions welcome!
MYTH: Wearing a mask causes you to inhale too much carbon dioxide, which can make you sick.
FACT: Wearing a cloth mask will not cause dizziness, lightheadedness, and headaches (also known as hypercapnia or carbon dioxide toxicity). Carbon dioxide passes through the mask, it does not build up inside the mask. If you feel dizzy or get a headache, you may be dehydrated since wearing a mask doesn’t make it as easy to drink water. We recommend keeping yourself very hydrated.
Debunking common face mask misconceptions
Now look. The only time I wear a mask is entering a store. Whatever amount of liquids I've ever drank HAS NOT changed because of covid. If this were true that the only reason I feel dizzy or lightheaded is because I haven't drank much water or am dehydrated wouldn't I have experienced that all other times? Surely I would have!
But usually about 6 minutes in a store I experience a dizzy lightheaded feeling and this medical piece wants to suggest it's not because I'm wearing a mask? If I could borrow a term by Joe Biden, "Come on MAN!" My wife has the same thing happen to her as well. Talked to others....THE SAME! So what is it with this thing that they're trying to talk people out of things they down right KNOW are facts?!
Look I know what water dehydration dizziness is like. I worked years ago in buildings which didn't have any air conditioning in heat waves and I know what that can be like. This is nothing like that when wearing a mask. So it has to be oxygen depletion or something like that taking place by wearing the mask.
And you are also refusing to address the OBVIOUS point i keep making that sticks out like a sore thumb because you also talk like a tyrant.
I dont need to protect others because
1, the death % of this is so low.

How many dead people do we need before you start to care about others?
The mask is annoying, washing hands is not. Thats the difference. I like washing my hands, I dont like wearing a mask. See the difference YET?
How many recovered people do we need before you start to care about peoples freedom?
Also, when are you gonna care about addressing my point i keep making.
Which is:
If they want to be protected, then THEY can take the precautions.
The extreme elements are not the real problem. It's people in powerful positions like Mr. Trump that are the real threat. Trump thrives on creating conflict. It is the one thing at which he excels. That makes him so dangerous and that is why he loves violence and open conflict.
And I don't mind wearing a mask since it helps slow the spread of the disease.
I strongly doubt you're going to take my random opinion to mean anything here.
Likewise me about yours.
I asked you first.
I've addressed it several times - they are, by prohibiting people who refuse to wear masks from being out in public. Why should their FREEDOM to do so be more important than your freedom to put them at risk?
God may not care about chump change like American politics.What do you mean by extreme elements? Are you not confidant that God will handle it? Are you sure he is the real threat? Cause I heard the same thing about Bush, Obama, Reagan, the list goes on and on.
It's more like 3-4 % who die, and about 80% (including asymptomatic people) have their organs damaged, including the heart.Thats only if you have the disease. Likely you dont and are wasting your time.
Exactly because you refuse to address my point. And I think its because my point just simply makes too much common sense to address and refute it.
Well in your case your just stubborn.
Yes, you did. So heres your answer. If it wer 20 or 30% that die of this along with the SAME contagion rate THEN I would put a mask on. I STILL however would not advocate shutting business down. If it wer a very low contagion rate but 20 to 30% death, I would NOT put a mask on.
But only less then 1% die of this. It is not anywhere near the level for me to put a mask on.
Now your turn. How many % have to recover for you to care about others freedom?
Nope, this does not address my point.
If THEY wear the masks, glovrs, goggles and take the other precautions, then THEY are not at risk even if i wear no mask.
Address that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the real death toll of Corona will only become apparent in 1-3 decades, when peoples hearts start to fail decades before the end of their life expectancy.
Thats only if you have the disease. Likely you dont and are wasting your time.

Sure, easy enough to address. Your assertion here is a falsehood and shows a complete misunderstanding about the risks associated with the disease.If THEY wear the masks, glovrs, goggles and take the other precautions, then THEY are not at risk even if i wear no mask.
Address that.
Its not 3 to 4% according to the CDC. Its less then 1%. And 80% have MILD symptoms. You have no proof that 80% have long term damage. If you think you do, provide the link and I shall determine if it really is proof
I'm german. I have plenty of freedom because my nations government didn't botch their response to a pandemic.Your assumption. Assumptions aren't proof. Shut down the world, erode peoples freedom based on no proof?
Absolutely incredable. You people don't deserve freedom since your so willing to give it away because your so scared. And when you give it away, your also giving away the minorities freedom who are the resisters. Your selfish.
For a while.
America is larger than the whole of Europe with a population of 330 million people.Okay.. it did botch it, but in a very mild way when compared to the USA.
I don't think the difference between 330 million people and 82 million people is that big that any comparision should be automatically discarded on that basis alone.America is larger than the whole of Europe with a population of 330 million people.
Considering the size and population they really haven't done a horrible job. It means that we are going to have a long sustained outbreak. Sure, everyone has had a few missteps along the way...but who is really prepared for something of this magnitude?
This is going to take a while to overcome and normalize. But keeping the damages to a minimum is the primary goal. Labor pool of workers is every nation's most valuable asset. From the educated to the menial labor workforce.. they determine a nation's viability and economic/defense ability.
I don't think the difference between 330 million people and 82 million people is that big that any comparision should be automatically discarded on that basis alone.
Also.. you were prepared for something of this magnitude. You had a pandemic response team and a brilliant playbook. And then Trump decided to trash both to safe a couple bucks.
