Original Note:
The word “mask” is never mentioned in the study described by this post. The study suggests fatal pneumonia was prompted by cell damage in the lungs, a result of the influenza virus. This weakening provided an entry point for bacteria normally found in the nose/throat. https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/198/7/962/2192118 https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/bacterial-pneumonia-caused-most-deaths-1918-influenza-pandemic
