The threat goes beyond office buildings, extending to factories, medical centers, schools, restaurants, and gyms. In mid-July, the Lodge at Sonoma Renaissance Resort in California reported that its water tested positive during the shutdown (it has since come back clean). Legionella was recently found in four locations at Kettering Fairmont High School in Ohio after an employee was diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease, according to WDTN News. The bacteria was also detected in July in academic buildings on West Chester University campus in Pennsylvania. At the end of June, a Legionnaires’ case was confirmed at a nursing home in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Lol, did you actually read your links? The articles are about possible bacteria in the plumbing systems due to the inactivity. NOWHERE it says what your thread title claims about "getting it from long term mask wearing". And the first article ends with:
“I don’t know if it has been studied,” says Pruden, “but it seems logical that wearing a mask in the restroom and elsewhere in the office would reduce the possibility that you would inhale these airborne bacteria and become ill.”

Of course the OP didn’t read, that would mess up the premise of his thread.
If the GOPandemic had been addressed early on, there might not be a need for masks at this point. Until somebody makes a decision to deal with this who knows what to do and isn't afraid of making hard and unpopular choices, we are all in danger of contracting MAGAflu.
