Well done study with age matched controls. Further confirms that the fatigue, anxiety, and QOL are significantly impacted and should be addressed.

Big issue today and moving forward

We have definitely seen the boom for consumers to identify this type of information.

Article

Commented on A Laboratory Model Demonstrating the Protective Effects of Surgical Masks, Face Shields and a Combination of Both in a Speaking Simulation
