I’m usually skeptic of simplified news reporting, especially in the presumed context of (rightly) trying to convince the general public that masks aren’t really an impediment to daily routine activities. Regardless, what exertion level did they measure the various oxygen levels at? If one is ju

I just saw a news report that had a study showing that masks don’t have any effect on your oxygen levels. That say they feel like they do but the numbers show you are still getting the same oxygen moving around your body as you would without a mask. I have a hard time wearing a mask while ridi

The thing with masks is that if they're not a bit constrictive, they probably don't work (except for face shields, but who wants to look like a welder with a transparent shield?). That's the nature of filters. Having said that, there's constrictive, and there's *constrictive*. I should say that

I agree; I've abandoned the backpack-loaded-with-groceries idea for now. I have plenty of other opportunities for walking, and I can always strengthen my arms by carrying loaded cloth grocery bags (properly balanced) back from the nearer store. On Mon, Nov 23, 2020 at 12:10 PM jack loudon wrote:
