Test Shows Oxygen Levels Drop into the DANGER ZONE After 5 SECONDS

Then you are wearing the wrong kind of mask.
Oxygen levels drop after 5 seconds? Surgeons and surgical nurses wear masks for hours on end, day after day. Do you think they are oxygen deprived while they are operating on you?
Oxygen levels do drop immediately and wearing a mask long term can cause COPD
That's nonsense. My wife read a test for all-day-masks here in Germany a very short time ago. Astonishingly the best masks were the flat pleated self-made masks with pure cotton wool. Ask your quilter women - they are perfect hand crafters!
And in general exist 2 different kinds of masks. Masks to protect others and masks to protect oneselve. The masks to protect others are this all-day masks and the medical masks, which doctors use for example during operations.
The other form of masks are called in the USA as far as I know N95 masks. Here we call them FFP2 masks. FFP3 masks would be analogically N99 masks. This masks are allowed to be used (everything is allowed: also a scarf or handkerchiefs, because anything is better than nothing) - but it is not good to use
this masks. They are for scientist, medical engineers and medical personell. It's indeed more difficult to breathe in this masks - and that's on the other side a reason, why some of them have a valve, an outlet. In this case they do not help to protect others from an own infection.
The reason to use masks is as simple as this is a very dangerous side of this special virus. Since the first patient here got a Corona infection we said it looks like that people infect others
before they have the first symptoms. Meanwhile we all know that some have [nearly] no symptoms and infect others. Everyone who is infected is in danger to infect others without to know this for a minimum of 2 days up to about 2 weeks - hopefully not longer.
Meanwhile here in Germany the situation is relaxed - asides of all this idiots, who think the danger is over. It is not! In the USA exists in the moment a very serios situation. So please:
Use masks! Wash hands (more often)! Keep distance!
That's the best what everyone is able to do. So do it! This virus is anything else than harmless. It attacks not only the lung - it is able to attack every organ in the body - also the brain - and it is able to cause long-term health problems. Even in simple cases of infections can happen a so called 'past-covid-syndrome' - no idea how your scientists call this. One symptom is in this context for example 'nightmares'. So who likes to live with nightmares for a still unknown time? Again:
Use masks! Wash hands (more often)! Keep distance! That's really the best what everyone is able to do. So do it, do it, do it!
