Letme ask a stupid question. Its been a common practice for the last 100 years or so for doctors to wear masks. Its not uncommon for surgeons to spend 15+ hours in surgery wearing masks.
If your above statement is true that masks cause confusion, disorientation, sleepiness and loss of motor skills, why do you think we are just now seeing studies done? Why hasn't anyone in the last 100 years noticed the surgeon get confused and think their patient is a giraffe? In the decades of surgery no one noticed that the doc, outside the OR can thread a needle on the first try but in surgery he holds a scalpel like a 2 year holds a spoon?
