Proof 50% of doctors graduate in the bottom half of their class. If he thinks hes actually pulling oxygen through 6 masks think again. I'm glad they have extra masks they don't need. With these home made masks its very possible to drop O2 levels. I wish people would stick to things they are good at.

Well said Mark. Also the n95 masks blocks 95 percent of the virus not all. SO to think that anything lesser is going to stop something so small is like thinking a underwear will stop a fart.

ok lets break this down Mark: Even with a mask covering your mouth, your body will sense it's own oxygenation levels and adjust your breathing accordingly. I'm sure you've noticed yourself starting to breath heavily when you try to think too hard - this is why. Doorsfreak: 95% is already a big reduction. If 2 people are both wearing masks the reduction would be 99.75%. And I have an experiment for you, have a friend (or a stranger) cough in your face, and see how much of their spit gets on you with and without a mask, then report back in 2-3 weeks. Thanks. Also the doors suck.

Um actually no. They are telling people to use cloth masks which just end up being a breeding ground for disease. Most of the masks are one time use and people are keep reusing them. Also did you not catch the fart analogy? If you think a cloth mask is going to stop a virus think again. Viruses are so small they can go through condoms.

If you are not breathing adequately the first thing that happens is CO2 levels rise which is what makes you feel short of breath. Meanwhile, there is enough oxygen dissolved in your blood and stored in your lungs to maintain oxygen saturations in the normal range. Which is fortunate, or people would pass out under water all the time due to low oxygen. But in fact, people do not routinely pass out under water because rising CO2 levels compel them to stop what they are doing and take a breath. That is why hyperventilating before free diving is so dangerous--you blow off a lot of CO2 and then CO2 levels may indeed not rise to the point that you feel the need to breathe until oxygen falls. Low oxygen leads to euphoria and confusion and then loss of consciousness and then you die. All of which is to say, if the masks were interfering with your breathing, the first thing that would happen is you would feel short of breath due to rising CO2 levels and you would rip off the masks. Meanwhile, your oxygen saturation might drop a bit, but not enough to cause you any harm. And finally, the job of the type of masks most people are wearing for protection from COVID19 is not to stop virus particles. It is to stop droplets that contain virus particles before someone else can inhale those droplets. Those droplets are way bigger than an individual virus particle and are effectively stopped by these masks. Is mask wearing definitely the right strategy? Maybe or maybe not. But it is such a simple thing to do and the possible benefit of slowing the spread of COVID19 so as not to overwhelm healthcare resources and needing to bring our economy to a halt again seems so totally worth the tiny inconvenience of wearing a mask when around other people.

50% of doctors graduate in the bottom half of their class..... Really enlightening statement. Seems like 50% of Americans graduated in the bottom half of their class.

Follow-up video is lame. All of the questionable factors are still in the video. Clean, dry, new medical masks. Nobody I know uses medical masks now.
