Why would people need an exemption or be able to get a mask exemption if it doesnt affect breathing?

Why do you ask questions that we all know you know the answer to?  Obviously what affects the breathing of healthy people is going to be very different from someone with COPD that can barely breathe at the best of times.  

Walking across the parking lot has no negative effect on my health so who needs handicap spots.  amirite??

Because the majority of you seem to question my arguments in childish rhetorical ways and require me to spell things out for you. Thats why.

Forget about COPD - we've all seen the elderly before covid walking and weazing. Now we see them masked up and taking breaks while walking. And I mean seeing them taking a break leaning on something with a cane with their head peeled back and still masked up; they're not sitting down with a coffee kind of break.

If they are old and wheeze when they walk there is a good chance they have COPD.  We have also seen fit people run a marathon wearing not one, but seven masks (OK it was one guy) just to prove to people whining about masks that they are not restrictive for people with normal lung function.  And those that don't have normal lung function probably want everyone that can wear a mask to do so since they are super high risk.

Quick look at the 7 mask marathon Doc. Should we take into account the amount of different masks and their materiels next? Surgical masks are meant to keep saliva and other mucus out of the patients open surgery.

As someone who was recommended to see a COPD specialist, I can tell you there is a difference in masks (not trolling). And then there's mask sizing and care. We could go on and on and on.

We could, but we don't because we know they help a lot overall in controlling the spread, they are inexpensive, and they don't curtail any type of economic activity because you can do almost anything while wearing one. Win, win, win.

Say safe everyone.

Are mask's a good thing to recommend to people who have a lung condition or respiratory infection?

Sounds like the kind of thing they should talk to their Dr about.

Oh reallly meow!?  A few things - first you're not RAH. I get you love me so much you have to reply to me but really, you've proven yourself this past year to be a lesser poster thats having some liberal tantrum half the time and you dont bring much to the table. Like below, you couldnt even think of that before replying to me.

Basic logic says: people with a lung infection/condition have trouble breathing, masks prohibit if not limit proper breathing. Do you need to be a Dr to see an issue with that? And get this: everyone has been listening to their Dr's boss and boss' boss, aka Dr Henry since this started (and her Boss Dr Tam and her boss the WHO).

Sorry sir, I had no idea RAH was the only person you were asking. Public post on a public forum and all. 

Nothing to get upset about.

Now that Trump has it that is a valid question.  Even tiny hands can lead to bigly contamination.

Conway now has Covid.

The irony doesn't get any stronger than this.
