Interesting.

I assume that professional masks are different than just cloth. I see a lot of people wearing homemade masks made from what might be scraps of cloth. Some just use motorcycle bandannas. Some use construction worker masks used for dust.

The article made several points, including -

"wearing a mask can be dangerous. That is if the wrong mask is worn, it's worn incorrectly or people have incorrect expectations when wearing it."

"The worst one is wearing one for too long," he said, noting masks can collect bacteria and other viruses.

A mask, you're breathing on it all day long creating all this wonderful space for bacteria to multiply, and once they get to a certain quantity you start inhaling them."

He said drug-resistant bacteria could be worse than COVID-19 for some people.




Do you agree with these points that were made by a medical professional?
