Myths About Masks: Infectious Disease Expert Breaks Down All of Your Burning Questions

Of all the things to be up in arms about in 2020, the one that takes the cake is the passionate argument over wearing a mask—or rather, not wearing one.

Some believe wearing a mask is an infringement on our freedoms. Others believe it’s a conspiracy and will argue that masks deprive you of oxygen. I’ve seen arguments that suggest a mask will make you sicker, while others have taken the bi-partisan route, claiming to not wear a mask out of spite for the opposite political party. Another popular argument: having a medical condition that makes you exempt from having to wear a mask.

Whichever way you spin it, there’s no arguing that the call to wear a mask is here for the long haul, as experts and epidemiologists around the globe continue to discover more and more data that suggests wearing a mask could literally save lives.
