remember when these guys couldn't breathe while wearing a mask during lockdown?
edit: "e"
Breath - rhymes with 'death', and is what comes out of your mouth
Breathe - the action of breathing
Try to remember it this way: when you add the 'e' on the end, you're really breeeething.
i just can't type worth shit on a touch screen
Hey, no judgement here.
While i agree with the point you are making, its just quite the obvious difference. Medical masks have much much denser material so they dont let water droplets through. These masks are usually just some clothing fabric that is full of big openings and really easy to breathe through.
I have tumor riddled lungs and chest muscles that don't quite do their job any more and I was able to breath just fine with a N95 on for hours at a time. These gigantic turd burglers must be more out of shape than my dead gran if not being able to breathe was their excuse.
Wearing a mask in a controlled environment or when you are sedentary is a whole different ballgame than wearing a mask while active in a high heat/humidity environment.
While I still wore my mask despite it - it was literally torture when I was at work.
And i mean literally literally. I had to wring out/drain my good masks every few minutes or I would be waterboarding myself.
Cheap paper masks were even worse.
These idiots didn't wear medical masks during, I live in conservative hell and they all wore neck gaiters and kept them under their noses and still bitched that they couldn't breathe.
Well thats fucking dumb
I can't speak for the states but here people I absolutely know wore balaclavas and neck masks before covid also started complaining about those just the same because the medical authorities were saying it was better than nothing.
Oh yes, specially designed masks for MEDICAL purposes, designed to be usable for childreb abd the elderly are harder to breathe through for tough macho guys like this than some bullshit they bought at a gunstore.
Clearly they only care about protecting themselves and can't be bothered to protect others.
You people are so weird. At no point did i say that medical masks are hard to breathe through. I only said that whatever they are wearing will be easier to breathe through. Obviously the standard masks are also pretty easy to breathe through, billions of people did it for 2-3 years without any major problems.
What you're doing is white-knighting for the gestapo. That's weird.
Quit trying 'to be fair' towards thugs who absolutely give zero shits about being fair to you.
To be clear: I'm not saying you aren't factually correct. I'm saying that, in the Thunderdome of public sentiment, that sort of comment comes across as excusing fascism and that's why people are rightfully getting pissed off at you for making it.
I... Erm.....
I merely said something designed formedical use is probably easier to breathe tbhough than something designed for military use. Y'know, thick materials are harder to breathe through. Wouldn't want a wild boar, terrorist or immigrant tearing through it to reveal your identity.
So it's probably harder to breathe through a bandit mask that than a thin little surgical one.
