[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recommendations in California:
Masks:
 
"Wearing a mask may actually be harmful to some people with heart or lung disease because it can make the lungs work harder to breathe."

Small children should not wear masks. California's Dept. of Public Health points out, "Children should not wear these masks – they do not fit properly and can impede breathing.If the air quality is poor enough that a child requires a mask, the child should remain indoors, in a safe place, and evacuation should be considered"

[b]People indoors should not wear masks[/b]. (The air isn't as bad indoors, and the masks can restrict breathing and increase breathing carbon dioxide making you feel worse, not better).

"Risks of N95 respirator use outside of fire zones outweigh benefits:  Most people will not contact their healthcare provider before using the N95 respirator; N95 use may lead to increased heart rate, respiratory rate, work of breathing, CO2 buildup inicro-ambient air, potentially posing risk to sensitive populations "[/quote]

This is for mask-wearing in [b]fire zones.[/b] The other things may still apply, but in the current situation the air is absolutely worse (here meaning "germier") indoors. You're masking against a very different kind of danger, so it needs to be weighed differently against the risks.

I'm not saying you're wrong about mask-wearing not being right for everyone, but the two situations are not a direct comparison.[/quote]
