Is there any valid reason NOT to wear a mask? We spoke to experts to see what they had to say. “Even doctors who are asthmatic, including myself, are able to (mask up)," one says. "Just wear the damn mask." http://torstar.co/sKhK50AB2pY ">https://torstar.co/sKhK50AB2...

Do masks make you sick? “No evidence whatsoever that wearing a mask will cause your carbon dioxide level to build up and certainly there’s no relationship between wearing a mask and damaging your immune system," Dr. Ken Chapman of @uoftmedicine says. https://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/opinion/2020/07/17/just-wear-the-damn-mask-and-other-truths-from-actual-doctors.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=OpinionContributor&utm_content=justwearadamnmask">https://www.thestar.com/life/heal...
