Crying with mask on

If someone (not a very young child) is crying (for example, at a funeral or because failed major exams) with a mask on, is there higher risk for breathing difficulty? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mulut Besar (talk • contribs) 11:18, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes if I get physically exerted wearing a mask, the inside of the mask gets wet, breathing is harder, and I've gotten sick from it (sore throat). Sometimes I have to run errands involving an uphill walk that gets me that way. I carry spare masks when I do that, so I can switch to a dry one when necessary. So far I'm still using those crappy surgical masks but want to switch to some better ones. 2601:648:8202:96B0:0:0:0:313A (talk) 07:31, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
