In my experience? More and more people will talk about quitting. Very few actually have the guts to follow through. Like the old saying Talk is cheap.

I'm going to be starting a new job next week, and will be required to wear a mask, so I won't have a choice.

Nope. It's one of the few weapons we have against this virus right now.

Anyone who believes this has previous long-term brain problems.

My employer already DOES. I can take it off while I am at my desk because I work on the phone as a call center agent, but if I am moving around either the call center, which is on the 6th floor of a high rise, or the rest of the building I MUST wear a mask. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Will you be voting in November? Those local elections are looking just as important.

Most healthy individuals would not experience oxygen deprivation with N95.

Almost no one should experience any problems with looser fitting masks and surgical masks.

https://digitalmedic.stanford.edu/my...d-bloodstream/

This is not true for healthy people wearing surgical or cloth masks.
There are many types of masks, from tight-fitting N95 respirators to looser surgical masks and homemade cloth masks. Some masks mean you have to put more effort into breathing if you wear them for a long time. The N95 mask forms a seal and filters 95 percent of particles. If worn for many hours without a break, an N95 mask might potentially affect oxygen levels but likely not to a dangerous extent, especially in people who are healthy. Looser surgical masks and cloth masks do not lower oxygen levels. It’s important to wear the right mask for the right situation. For example, medical workers in high risk situations need well-fitting N95 respirators, whereas healthy people going to the store may choose to use surgical or cloth masks. Wearing a surgical mask or homemade cloth mask will keep your germs in and protect others from you. Masks should not be worn by children under the age of 2 years or by anyone with breathing problems. Remember, if you are healthy and breathing normally, a mask will not lower your blood oxygen levels.


Here's the often linked article also from Stanford

https://news.stanford.edu/2020/04/14...19-face-masks/

Again.. addressing N95 masks only.. not the recommended surgical or cloth masks. Again.. they are not recommending N95 masks for general use.

There was a mask tyrant walking around work chastising people if they dared took it down for a minute or two for some fresh air. She was walking around with a BLM pin on her collar.

Without a link, it didn't happen.

What do you expect the "box inserts" to read? Are you unaware of the concept of lawsuits?

Sounds like you need to do a little more reading. Your comprehension on the topic of masks is lacking.
