Your being a little hyperbolic. Not saying wearing a mask is gonna kill us but that I just don't put much faith into an employer that recommends mask use when CDC was against it at one point. When it says right on the box will not stop the spread of viruses.

Couple skepticism with 1st hand knowledge that light activity winds you when it shouldn't plus I'm for objective measurement. I'm for using a atmospheric measuring device to see if the environment that the employer has changed is healthy or safe.

The CDC was against it because they royally fucked up. We had consumed our emergency stockpile of masks under Obama, allowed ourselves to become dependent upon foreign production of a vital healthcare product, and furthermore let Chinese immigrants purchase all of the public supply of respirators and ship them to China. That is why the CDC was not recommending masks and it is also why people are relying on homemade masks instead of proper respirators.

the environment

That is not the same thing as inside your mask (or up your ass).

If your employer is recommending a basic surgical mask to protect YOU from a virus then they are misinformed. For that you need an N95 or better.

(fun fact, an N95 blocks tiny particles and larger particles but only 95% of the medium particles, and does so by magnetism basically)
