That is exactly right! What the paper says is that masks should be used when necessary and according to the case presented to the medical staff. Not all the time.

When you force people to use the masks all the time you are making the problem worse.

When people are violently objecting to wearing a mask for 10 minutes in the store, I’m less worried about studies focusing on long-term mask usage and more worried about the impact of those spreading doubt.

I am concerned because they are about to force children wear masks 8 hours a day in school. What do you think it will happen when it comes out this was damaging to their health?

I think students with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases or heart failure should not be in school at all right now with a deadly virus floating around.
