The question is whether I trust your "survey" or the CDC's recommendation.
But also, in both cases based on a quick skim it seems to me like you're misrepresenting the studies. In the first study, the control was "normal practice" which included mask use. In the second study, I see no claims about cardiac damage; I understand it to say that masks make it harder to breathe, which is useful information but not very surprising.
- glofish 6y agoThat is exactly right! What the paper says is that masks should be used when necessary and according to the case presented to the medical staff. Not all the time. When you force people to use the masks all the time you are making the problem worse.
- macintux 6y agoWhen people are violently objecting to wearing a mask for 10 minutes in the store, I’m less worried about studies focusing on long-term mask usage and more worried about the impact of those spreading doubt.
- glofish 6y agoI am concerned because they are about to force children wear masks 8 hours a day in school. What do you think it will happen when it comes out this was damaging to their health?
- macintux 6y agoI think students with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases or heart failure should not be in school at all right now with a deadly virus floating around.
