一名医生戴着口罩跑了22英里以证明自己是安全的

2020年8月09年

 

Dr. Tom Lawton wore a three-layered cloth mask during two runs, totaling 22 miles.

汤姆·劳顿医生戴着三层布制的口罩跑步，总共跑了22英里。

(CNN) A doctor in England wanted to prove that face masks won’t impair your oxygen levels. So he ran for 22 miles while wearing one.

英国一名医生想要证明口罩不会损害自己的氧气水平。所以他戴着口罩跑了22英里。

Throughout his running journey, Tom Lawton used a pulse oximeter to monitor his oxygen levels. The medical device measures the saturation of oxygen in a person’s red blood cells and typically clips to your finger.

在他跑步过程中，汤姆·劳顿使用一个脉搏血氧仪来监测他的氧含量。这种医疗设备可以测量人体红细胞的氧饱和度，通常会夹在你的手指上。

“The mask didn’t come off at all (no food or drink) -- and oxygen levels were stubbornly 98% every time I checked,” he tweeted last month.

上个月，他在推特上写道:“口罩一直没有脱下 (也没有补充食物和饮料)——每次检查时，氧气含量都高达98%。”

In an on air interview with CNN Sunday morning, the ICU doctor said he wanted to show everyone that masks are safe to wear and are a necessity in curbing the spread of the coronavirus.

在周日上午接受美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)的连线采访时，这位重症监护室的医生说，他希望向所有人展示，戴口罩是安全的，也是遏制新冠病毒传播的必要手段。

 

Top health officials have changed their minds about face mask guidance -- but for good reason

高级卫生官员已经改变了他们对口罩使用指南的看法，但理由也很充分

Health officials urge people to wear a mask not only for themselves but to protect others. This guidance has been met with controversy over the past few months as people are refusing to wear them.

卫生官员敦促人们戴口罩，不仅是为了自己，也是为了保护他人。在过去的几个月里，这一指南遭到了很多人的争议，因为人们拒绝佩戴口罩。

“I was frustrated because I’ve seen some photos where people who sat at a desk wearing a mask and claimed that the oxygen levels dropped just simply wearing a mask,” Lawton said.

劳顿说:“我很沮丧，因为我看到一些照片，有人戴着口罩坐在桌子前，声称仅仅是因为戴了口罩，氧气水平就下降了。”

Duly inspired, Lawton donned his three-layered cloth mask one day and then ran 8 miles to work while monitoring his oxygen levels. After work, he ran another 14 miles. While he does admit the mask was rather uncomfortable, he says his oxygen levels never dropped.

劳顿戴上了他的三层布制口罩，然后跑了8英里去上班，同时监测自己的氧气水平。下班后，他又跑了14英里。虽然他承认口罩戴着很不舒服，但他说他的氧气含量从未下降。

“I don’t think that masks are going to solve this on their own,” Lawton said. “We need to keep distance, comply with isolation, wash hands and wear a mask.”

劳顿说:“我不认为口罩自身能够解决这个问题。”“我们还是需要保持社交距离，遵守隔离，洗手，并戴口罩。”
