Cloth masks, other than being hot, are no where near the challenge presented by an N95! Sadly, I don’t think their not wearing a mask is related to comfort. They scream their “rights” are being violated. An asinine argument during a global pandemic...which actually seems worse.
-
Yeah. Our hospital finally got enough N95s that it’s requiring everyone in the OR with direct patient contact to wear them. I’d forgotten how hot and uncomfortable they can be when worn for a long time. (So far this pandemic I’d only worn them for relatively brief periods.)

I think it’s pretty safe to make blanket assumptions about the character and culture of our national society writ large that implicitly and explicitly states that wearing a mask is a sign of weakness though.
-
Many soldiers go into battlefield with masks. Surgeons saving lives wear masks. Nurses caring for patients wear masks. Farmers harvesting wear masks. Tell any one of them they are weak. This culture is fucked up.

I’m especially disgusted with the “freedom” crowd who keep insisting a small gesture to protect others is some kind of horrible governmental oppression.

Ditto. When people mistake a slight inconvenience as an infringement to their freedom, they really don't deserve the freedom. They are just overly entitled.

And especially if they justify it on the basis of their number of social media followers

Wearing an N95 during an 8 hour case is not fun. It’s not only uncomfortable but you also can’t hear yourself speak and neither can anyone else. Communication in the OR ends up being very difficult. At the end of the day, I think that I have mild hypoxia.
