What we do know
This means that people who feel healthy need to wear a cloth face covering in public places—especially indoors—and stay at least six feet away from other people.
And, no, wearing a cloth face covering is not at all likely to restrict your oxygen or make you breathe too much carbon dioxide or affect your immune system. If you feel dizzy or light headed, or have trouble breathing, sit down and remove your mask. If it continues, call 911. Numbers. The latest numbers are updated on the DOH webpage. As of 11:59 p.m. on June 21, there are 477,204 people in Washington who have been tested for COVID-19. Of those, 28,870 people (or 6.0%) have tested positive for COVID-19. Of those, 4,062 people had to be hospitalized, and 1,276 people (or 4.4%) have died of the disease. Practice compassion. “Everyone shall wear a mask. Those who are not doing so are not showing their independence—they are only showing their indifference for the lives of others.” Sydney Morning Herald, February 3, 1919. Even before the modern research, people understood that wearing a mask is an act of compassion for others.

I like that you mentioned that countries that promoted face masks had fewer cases than the countries that didn't. It sucks because even though I am fully vaccinated I know that there are so many people in my state that aren't, that means I am still wearing my mask at work. I wish that people would have just worn masks from the beginning instead of us being where we are now.
