Has anyone else noticed the increased number of freakouts and fights at airports and on airplanes lately (not just here but overseas as well)? I can’t prove it and I don’t have any real data, but it seems that there is an escalation due to the mandate of wearing masks on planes and at airports (unless you’re John Kerry).
I’m not talking about fights about wearing masks.
According to one article I saw, a person can get carbon dioxide poisoning by “rebreathing exhaled air (e.g., from a blanket over the head or sleeping in a tent)”.
So, imagine if you’re wearing a really small blanket over your nose and mouth and you HAVE to keep it on…
Paranoia, depression, and confusion
Muscle twitches
Seizures
Palpitations (a feeling that you are having a rapid heart rate)
Panic, or a feeling of impending doom
Dilation (widening) of superficial veins in the skin
Papilledema (swelling of the optic nerve)
Carroll doubts that any cloth face covering would ever fit against the face so tight that someone would pass out from a lack of oxygen. “You’d take it off because it’s uncomfortable well before that happens,” he says.
But what if you can’t take them off? Like if you’re at an airport or on a plane?
Not saying that there’s a direct cause/effect, but I’m guessing there’s a correlation between having to wear masks and the increased violence at airports.
