Hey, anybody out there know what carbon dioxide
is? No? It's CO2. You know,
that stuff little Greta got so upset about because it supposedly is the cause of 'global warming'
that she jumped in her trusty little boat, all alone, right, and sailed to the
new world to chastise people to stop causing so much of it. Why? Because so
much CO2 mixed with the oxygen in the atmosphere is hurting the
planet? And presumably, the people on the planet?
Guess what? Our lungs breathe in that atmosphere,
and hard-working organs as they are, they send the CO2 back out and
keep the oxygen, which feeds all the cells in our bodies. Neat, huh? Wonder Who
thought of that? Never mind.
Came this dread disease, which has claimed many
lives, MANY unnecessarily because an effective treatment, long on the market
and allowed to be used by doctors, was denied. First the 'expert' everyone
listened to said, 'masks might make you
feel better, but not effective as a preventative.' Then wait, for some
reason, (numbers were falling fast) the 'expert' switched, 'all must wear masks to prevent the spread.' And leaders fell into
line and some 'mandated' and some 'recommended,' but people were quick to obey
and 'Karens' try to shame those who refuse to comply. But the refusers have good
and sufficient reasons for doing so.
Remember, oxygen in, CO2 out? Well,
any object, anything that covers the mouth and nose interferes with the CO2
escaping and oxygen entering, slow suffocation. With masks, as we
breathe, some of the CO2 is sucked right back into our lungs, which displaces
the life-giving oxygen. Get the picture? Yes, there are masks, PPE, personal
protective equipment, that allow a slower process, but those are not the ones
most people are wearing. Medical personnel wear that type to prevent contamination
by droplets or other exchange between themselves and patients. Presumably, too,
so they can stay alert while treating said patients.
So what happens when you rebreathe CO2?
Answer-partial hypoxia, worse for some health conditions. The first definition
for hypoxia in the The American Heritage® Medical Dictionary
Copyright © 2007, 2004 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company.

1. Deficiency in the
amount of oxygen reaching body tissues.
This deficiency can result in:
Signs and
symptoms vary according to the cause.
Generally
they
include
dyspnea, rapid
pulse, syncope, and mental
disturbances
such
as delirium
or euphoria. Cyanosis
(blue tint to skin) is not always
present
and
in some
cases
is not
evident
until
the
hypoxia
is far
advanced.
The
localized
pain
of angina pectoris occurs
because
of impaired
oxygenation
of the
myocardium.
(Hmmm,
that's why individuals with this condition, as well as asthma, etc., are given
a pass from wearing a mask? The rest of us must just deal with it?)
Discoloration of the skin and eventual
ulceration
that
sometimes
accompany
varicose
veins
are
a result
of hypoxia
of the
involved
tissues.
dyspnea
breathlessness or shortness of breath; labored or difficult breathing. It is a sign of a variety of
disorders and is primarily an indication of inadequate
ventilation or of insufficient
amounts of oxygen in the circulating blood. Adj: dyspne´ic.
syncope
fainting, passing out
A last observation. Odd that the most used supposed
preventative (mask) for a disease, one of whose main symptoms is shortness of breath, can also cause the
very same thing. If a person is in hospital they may be put on a ventilator, and patients on ventilators
have brought millions of dollars to hospitals from the federal government.
