[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 2244304, member: 245335"] His knowledge is out of date. Here's just one bit of research: [URL]https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200403132345.htm[/URL] and that's just a recent report. This one goes back to 2013 [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3591312/[/URL]. Even without that, as I have said on other threads. Wear and mask, if you're wrong, so what. Don't wear a mask and if you're wrong the outcome could be totally different. As for diabetics, does is showing a complete lack of understanding, he obviously does not know the mechanism of how this virus works. The fact that Glycated hemoglobin decreases the oxygen carrying capacity and limits the tissue oxygen delivery means that you are at a disadvantage when this virus comes along and hijacks other bits of hemoglobin and further restricts it's ability to carry oxygen. It's a double wammy, the lung problems plus the inability of the blood to carry enough oxygen. I haven't mentioned the body's inability to get rid of CO2 (probably lung function) because I don't understand it. I hope you can get hold of a mask, otherwise you might have to make one. Surely they can't discipline anyone for wearing a mask? Maybe they can, judging by some of the stupidity I've seen. BTW, making your own mask. As always Mr Google comes up with all you need to know, not forgetting to do 'due diligence' and checking what to find. All the best. [/QUOTE]
