Nobody else has trouble walking strenuously with a face mask on? I'm fine with the mask while standing around or short periods of not too vigorous walking, but with any sustained exertion it gets stifling, and after a little while it gets wet inside, and I've gotten sick from that all by itself.

- bittercynic 6y agoI think it depends on the mask. I agree with you for the tight-fitting cloth masks, but I take strenuous walks and even bike rides in a surgical mask and it doesn't bother me at all. Probably provides less protection, though.

- throwaway81523 6y agoInteresting, I might make sure to brush teeth and gargle before going out in a mask. When I say I've gotten sick from walking with a mask, I don't mean "felt sick", I mean I've literally gotten respiratory infections, which I'd figured were from rebreathing exhalations with their germs. I was wearing surgical masks then but wear N95's now and there is still difficulty.
