With no end in sight to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic in the US, it's no surprise that myths about the virus abound. According to Business Insider, one common myth is that wearing a mask is dangerous because you'll get carbon dioxide poisoning. But epidemiology professor Stephen Morse says any CO2 the wearer exhales passes through the mask, just like oxygen, and doesn't build up. After all, healthcare workers wear masks for hours on end, which is proof that mask-wearing does not cause carbon dioxide poisoning or toxicity. Furthermore, blood oxygen levels remain perfectly normal when wearing a mask, provided the wearer is healthy.
A new analysis published Thursday by the journal PLOS ONE reveals the personality traits that encourage compliance with COVID-19 guidelines. Careful and diligent' people are 31% more likely to follow measures designed to contain the spread of COVID-19 than those who don't have these traits. Likewise, those with 'strong cooperative values and a preference for positive interpersonal relationships' are 17% more likely to comply. Conversely, 'assertive, dominant, energetic, active, talkative, impulsive and enthusiastic"' extraverts are 7% less likely to comply than introverts. Understanding which traits encourage or discourage social distancing and mask-wearing can help governments implement health programs more effectively.
