So I just talked to an ER nurse who said there is a lot of talk about everyone that has been wearing a mask for a year now, how damaging the extra CO2 will affect them over long term. She had a term for it, but I can't remember the name.
She said many workers have had headaches, shortness of breath, dizziness to name a few symptoms. She also said several workers have contracted Covid over the course of this year, some could state they almost most definitely got it from working at the hospital, they were single, did not go anywhere after work, had food delivered, etc., this is even with wearing a mask all day.
I did not get to ask why mask were not worn prior to Covid, other than in operating rooms. Washing hands was the main focus working in a hospital, we did not see staff wearing mask until this Pandemic. She did say unless you are wearing a KN95 mask you really are Not protected. What they do is wear the 95 then a disposable over it. The disposable is really only good for a few hours then thrown away.
I am bad, I have been wearing the same disposable for a year now,
, I have it hanging off my car's rearview mirror. Of course I do not wear it all day like this nurse does.
Never forget the first time I wore a mask and noticed a bad smell, oh that was my breath, LOL.
