As I was so concentrated to write a hopefully impactful email and use the text in the blog too, I overlooked that I only saved the draft and actually not send it.

Very smart I know, on the other hand I used the opportunity and revisited it. So I make it easy for myself and also put it in here again, too.

As a single dad of two, I looking with a lot of concerns, at the reopening of the school. I do think so, it is good for the kids. - Please take the time and let me explain. 

It has nothing to do with the fact, that we have a worldwide Pandemic, caused by SARS-COV2 (causing COVID-19). 

My concern, and I’m not a doctor nor physician, is how governmental health institutions (worldwide!, even the WHO) are setting out rules that are harmful to our children, all of them, as well as teachers, anyone who is forced to wear a face mask for a long period of time. 

At least I’m a high risk group member, as I do have asthmatic conditions. So any kind of virus (or bacterial infection) that targeting or involves the lungs, can have a lethal influence on me. 

This fact caused me, to do research on my own very thoroughly, since the beginning of this pandemic. About what’s going on, concerning the protective measures against the virus. Unfortunately there are none at present (August 2020), beside a hopefully strong, well working immune system, highly specialized equipment (hazards suits) and cheaper “self isolation”. 

One clear outcome for me very early was, that wearing a face mask doesn’t help at all. In my case even worsen my overall conditions as asthmatic. Recently I came across a well investigated and fact combining source, that represents my point, too. themodelhealthshow.com/maskfacts… 

I kindly ask you to review and share this source with all members of your staff, to realize what it will mean, to put our kids, yourselves behind face masks for a whole school day - if this should be on the plan for the reopening(??)!!! 

Please use your common sense and answer for yourself the following questions, before start watching or reading any of the material provided in the link above. - You should have staff members that are able to proof certain points, too. 

  • How large is a virus physical measurement? 

  • Which environment is perfectly to grow bacteria? 

  • Why get painters, working e.g. in production facilities, car painting shops send to a lung specialist by    law (at least in Austria) every 12, 6 or 3 months (depends on age) for lung screening?    It is not only about the hazardous/toxic gases.
 Please try to get this question answered by a lung    specialist. 

  • Why do you see health workers/doctors (that can pay for(!) - so usually people send by WHO, to areas    were as an example Ebola broke out) caring hermetic sealed protection suits, sometimes even with    oxygen tanks equipped?     Please afterwards reflect on question one, off this list again. 

  • When you wear a face mask, do you have to use more force for breathing, to be properly be able to    inhale?    Think about, like going up stairs, walking fast, do manual work like cleaning, etcetera.

  • Now think at a surface were residue builds up and the surface is not air tight?    Please afterwards reflect on question one, off this list again.

I am quite certain, if we go on with the misuse of potential helpful equipment, we’ll see the following devastating output with consequences for all of us.

The following are my assumptions (yes, assumptions), but unfortunately I was right with a couple of them already, throughout the worldwide development during 2020 so far. Feel not great about it.

  • Many, maybe equal deaths tolls, because of bacterial infections, as we won’t have any working Antibiotics (!!) at hand anymore, like we see from viruses (SARS-COV2, etcetera). 

  • Many more lung related health issues at any ages - long term impact on any health system, because of the immense cost impact. 

  • Further diminish of properly working Immune systems in younger generations, increased immune disorder cases. Also influenced by the impact of climate change, the pressure on our health, because of quickly varying temperatures, etcetera.

  • A further negative push into the wrong direction with regards climate change. 
Partly caused by an immense increase in plastic production and very bad recyclable garbage that we generate, because of one-way used products - like we see with masks, gloves, disinfection detergent, etcetera. 

  • Increase in psychological disorders as we humans, at least myself, need always the whole face impressions to aggregate the state of our opposite. Physical distancing and Isolation playing their part already. 

This email has nothing to do with, to be “against something”! 

This email try to raise awareness to facts that are published and forced on us, from people they do not do any research of their own, in my understanding. Governments that are feeling more comfortable to falling back to “defaults”, because of fear and inability to take on responsibilities. 

They are usually no doctors nor scientist themselves - people that we would need in any government around this globe.

Feel free to share this information also with the HSE authorities, the parents association. We need grounded people, using common sense and thinking not only for “their length of their term of employment”, instead beyond - for all human kind.

The luxury to see ourselves isolated on an Island, doesn’t excuse us anymore for stepping away from our responsibilities against a single ecosystem. We’re all have to live and survive on this planet together. 

If the kids have to wear any face protection at all, at least allow face shields only, that they can freely breath.

Either face protection will not help against a virus. The situation will get through poorly vented areas or air conditioning even worse. As there is No protection at all against any virus using face coverings, only.

By the way intense use of disinfection detergent, will dry the skin out and the “cracks in your skin” will generate additional “entrance points” for a virus. Only the hand washing with water (even without soap) is helping to get rid of accumulated virus residues.

I’m not a native speaker, so may my grammar is even worse, then I think. 😉

Please feel free to contact me for any questions.

Have a great week! Stefan Streit
