It's basically a tax punishing public vendors for the unmasked customers/employees who think they're sneaky and clever by disregarding health policy when no one is looking. Now the meter records any change in CO2 levels and saves that information for the health department.

I'm trying to make sense of this, a mask doesn't prevent co2 from being exhaled, and people take the mask off to eat anyway, people come and go..I don't understand how this works at collecting proper data?

It doesn't make sense because it's a load of bollocks.
Pure lies.

Probably because the CO2 analysis changes when the masks are on is the reason. It could absorb and alter some of the CO2 in theory. It certainly is absorbed by the mask wearer when they breath CO2 out as some is going to be held inside before equalizing with the atmosphere, and is then sucked back into our lungs. I can tell you CO2 is being recorded in expensive monitoring settings and also with the hand held variety that is not close to as accurate as the one we report to the EPA.

I think the amount of co2 retained is negligible, or we would probably pass out, I would be surprised to see a huge difference there? Also, I just think there are too many variable, I can't ever see this collecting usable data.
I have a co2 meter, measures ppm, when I get a chance I will play around!
