Real Doctors are tweeting about mask usage; Please listen to them. Not your urban witch doctor you found on the interwebz…
We have so many people who lack even the most basic, elementary school-level science literacy in this country, who cite "decreased oxygen intake" or "carbon dioxide retention" as a reason it to not wear a mask in public. #wearyourmask#DoBetter#PublicHealth#TrustANurse pic.twitter.com/Sw1FZ17HVb

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.

Two simple demos:
First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them. pic.twitter.com/ETUD9DFmgU
Why do mask deniers claim that wearing a mask causes people to asphyxiate on their own C02?

No chance.
I made this infographic to explain why. #SARSCoV2 is 0.12μm. A C02 molecule is ~0.00065μm. Virus is ~185x larger, so CO2 easily crosses a mask. COVID doesn't.
You're fine. pic.twitter.com/La4L7TiT3F
