Not to mention this guy is in superb physical condition.  He’s an exception in comparison to the average person on the street.  More than likely, his results don’t reflect those of the average person.

You're missing the point.

Unless his body is generating it's own oxygen, his blood oxy level indicate there is plenty of oxygen getting through the mask even when under significant load.

They already are or are going in AZ and at least at Northwestern University. 
It’s reckless in some ways, but most of these kids have been “at home” since at least April. Seems to be a Catch 22 at the moment, how long do parents wait for a solution?

It will be like throwing buckets of gasoline on an already raging fire.

No mask, no brain cells. ^

Of course, no public venue is without risk at this point, and masks will never be 100 percent protective, even if used 100 percent of the time. However, in combination with social distancing, our cloth masks are very effective at preventing the spread of the virus.

I'm seeing confusion between physical fitness and how masks don't fuggin' kill you from wearing them under practically any condition for however long.

insert > the mask does not give you a pass.  the mask restricts the virus slightly more than air, and he can run 22 miles!

anyone want to talk about testing? for a little more than the cost of a over priced, ineffective mask, we could all take a test, every day, and isolate the bug.?

I would love to get the antibody test because I am sure I had this freakin' disease. Oh well, maybe someday.

[Arlo]

Just wear the mask and stop whining already.

That doesn’t happen to say Rebel Football on his shirt does it? Oh my the Redskins name is gone...has UNLV changed?

Yet Red Mesa on the Navajo Nation is continuing to use Red Mesa Redskins

Anti-Body test is easy go to the doctor it's a pin P_rick on the finger and can get results in 20 minutes.

Regardless, this guy is in exceptionally good physical condition.  That’s the point you missed.

[Arlo]

But that's pointless related to the point the doctor successfully made. Seriously. Are we supposed to counter that by looking for examples of a bed-ridden 90 year old on oxygen who ran a marathon with a mask on and had an oxygen saturation rate of 98+ so there ya go masks work better than you think kinda way?

You know I love ya in a respect for your experiences and lookin' forward to your book comin' out kinda way but, c'mon!

You weren't just complementing him on his fitness.  You were trying to imply it invalidated the test.  It doesn't.

You can move along now.

You can move along now.

You first.

Exactly. 

Even though he is physically fit, he is still running 22 mi and receiving sufficient oxygen to maintain optimal blood O2.

Regardless of his fitness, that is still a higher load than your average fat-buttt anti-masker drama-queen waddling down the isle at Walmart with his Confederate flag mask on claiming that he is being suffocated to death.

Pullleeeeze.  If only that were true.
