a friend and I were talking about COVID precautions and they just sent me this paper which appears to raise concerns about safety and efficacy of wearing masks for COVID - does anyone here know anything about this paper + what conclusions should be drawn from it? I feel like there's probably *something* wrong with it given it very much is the consensus in communities I'm in (that seem to pay lots of attention to the literature) that wearing masks is a good precaution to take against COVID, but I'm not sure how to respond. is there a good analysis of the paper somewhere or anything like that?

Possible toxicity of chronic carbon dioxide exposure associated with face mask use, particularly in pregnant women, children and adolescents – A scoping review
During the SARS-CoV-2-pandemic, face masks have become one of the most important ubiquitous factors affecting human breathing. It increases the resistance and dead space volume leading to a re-breathing of CO[2] .PubMed Central (PMC)
Addressing indoor air quality saves lives and helps us achieve at work, in school, and in self-governance.
Brain function declines by 15% as CO2 levels hit 945ppm, and by 50% at 1400ppm.
Have you ever measured CO2 at your desk or a contentious City Council meeting? What you find might surprise you!
These scientists recommend mandating clean air in public buildings, with 800ppm as the upper limit. That's good policy: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adl0677

This is going to be the strangest #Covid and #LongCovid question out there.
Are there known cases of individuals experiencing *improvements* in mood and/or mental health in the immediate post infection period in excess of what is normally expected when one gets over an illness?
Are there any known cases of individuals experiencing *improvements* in QoL on the 2+ month post infection timetable that defines Long Covid?
(yes this is like the malaria cure for syphilis)
Funny. Every time I go through an airport, I’m struck by all the bullshit we have to do because 3000 people died more than 2 decades ago. However, we won’t accept any inconvenience for something that has killed more than a million Americans.
"Oxygen extraction by the body’s tissues was compromised in patients who had symptoms of #exerciseIntolerance after #COVID"
"Patients are told that their symptoms are a result of deconditioning, or decline from lack of physical activity.
Our findings contradict that hypothesis."

Covid was top line-of-duty death for US police for third year running in 2022
Report shows pace has slowed, however, with 70 law enforcement deaths recorded in the line of dutyMelody Schreiber (The Guardian)
They are abandoning everything they promised. They aren't updating vaccines, they've stopped working on new vaccine development, they won't pay for testing & monitoring.
Businesses promised hybrid then forced everyone back full time. Businesses promised remote then forced hybrid. They're trying to force recession to take back power.
We need to unionize everything.

Meanwhile, they are pushing the rest of us back into unsafe workplaces to protect their profits. This is class warfare.

Because of #COVID, I have #hearingLoss in my left ear and I would like to boost higher frequencies to get it somewhat equal.
Thanks for any ideas. Please boost if you have audio-smart followers that might have ideas for me, and please wear a mask so this doesn't happen to you.
Get in the sea.

A social media pic of your booth staff w/smiling unmasked faces does not make me want to drop by during the next break.
A free infection with #COVID, with a chance of long-term injury/disability, is just not the compelling free swag you may think it is.

I guess it had to happen sometime.
(I’m fine. Triple-jabbed. Had a nasty sore throat Monday and Tuesday that eased up last night and now I’m feeling almost back to normal. Have had worse colds.)
