Yes. I've been doing so all week (I just bought a new bicycle, and I wear a mask outside because it offends people and I find it funny), and I have exercised-induced asthma and sweat/overheat very easily. It's been fine. Masks don't impact your body's ability or inability to dissipate heat. The heat is uncomfortable; the mask doesn't matter. Have you tried it?
In any case, my argument is not that it has no potential harm - just that it's ludicrous to say it's as potentially harmful as not getting the vaccine.
- gfodor 5y agoUh. You: > my argument is not that it has no potential harm Also you: > may be ineffective, but it is harmless Masks restrict breathing. Restricting breathing is harmful. Particularly when your body is being taxed. This isn’t rocket science. Watching your contortions is entertaining though!
- geofft 5y agoMasks do not restrict breathing. They filter the air you breathe, making breathing easier, if anything. I am asthmatic, and I am sensitive to reduced ability to breathe. Seriously, have you ever worn a mask? (Or maybe by "mask" you mean some shoddily-built cloth mask instead of an actual N95? I agree, "morons in California" should not give their children shoddily-built cloth masks to play outdoors, they should give them N95s.)

- gfodor 5y agoI wear N95s and KN95s all the time. I can’t imagine how a person would think adding layers of filters in front of their mouth would not restrict breathing. It’s basic physics - you have to expend energy to pull the air through the filter.
