“reducing the oxygen concentration of the air“ of course it doesn’t change the molecular make up of the air but it’s a hella lot harder to breath. Put one on and go for a jog.

Excargodog

Not technically correct - usually. “Air” is a mixture with dry air having generally fixed amounts of N2,O2, Ar, and trace gases. But exhaled air has water vapor that is generally (that is, other than in Shreveport) higher than the ambient air as well as a slightly increased CO2. To the extent any mask has dead space that causes you to rebreathe expired air, the increased humidity and CO2 does indeed slightly reduce the concentration of oxygen in the air mixture you inhale.

Dude, small words please. A Marine like me (especially after a few mojitos) is easily confused

A mask has (virtually) no “dead” space.
Medical staff and first responders wear N95’s all day long and there is no evidence of a reduction in blood oxygen saturation.
Pure unadulterated nonsense.

No one likes the mask but we are required to wear them, I certainly wouldn’t plan my career around masks

Sheep a plenty, Sheepdogs time to test your metal but not really. Just think if this were some kind of alternate Ebola or some other kind of high percentage death rate virus or disease if you will. I myself am thankful that it wasn’t. It has no doubt taken its toll in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But it is now the world we live in and travel thru so if you want to be immune then be truly off grid or head to Alaska like “Life Below Zero.” While we ourselves may not be the super-spreaders (Don’t ask Australia as they think you are if you have a CPAP) the bodies in your pressurized tuna can most definitely are. I myself prolonged the injection for my own reasons until this month after I saw France cave (nothing new, but every country probably will). United, UPS new hires, it’s trickling thru our systems. It’s not like I haven’t been injected with a bunch of garbage by the government and we would like to live forever (well most of us for a bit after retirement), but it’s no big secret that no one does.

If anyone hears anything about being chipped, then let a bud know. Granted, it’s not like every single one of us isn’t walking around with a tracker listening device, Alexa in your HOME, tablet, etc. and to think the brilliance of it all having us pay for it and for the latest and greatest tech we can get our fat fingers on. Shots were free, but will the 3rd or 4th be… just pondering the end game and where did the flu go… eh…

So...you acknowledge that THEY know everything they'd ever care to about you, but you still worry that THEY are chipping you? With a vaccine? Like through a syringe?

Grease

That’s the idea apparently. So do they give you a chip on the 1st dose or 2nd dose? Or both? And if you get 2 chips, do they combine in your body like Voltron to form a supercomputer for internal surveillance?

jetlaggy

take requests?….wld like chocolate chip
