Wearing a mask may save your life. Or it may just give you a vastly reduced or even asymptomatic experience with Covid-19 the disease.
The logic is as easy as 1, 2 3. (1) Covid-19 is a bad disease – you don't want to get it. 2) Wearing a mask means that an infected person spreads fewer virus particles about. They lower the 'dose' they are leaving behind them in the world. (3) A lower dose for an uninfected person means a less bad run of Covid-19 the disease, maybe even none at all.
This idea of a "lower inoculum' or starting dose, is one I presented on March 15th. Now it is gaining steam and it needs to be much more widely appreciated.
If you've got loved ones you wish to protect from a bad case of Covid-19, then this episode is for you.
Oh, and – wear a mask!

1/ INCREDIBLE STUDY:
615 adults in Tokyo were prospectively recruited to take Sars-Cov-2 antibody tests.
When the study began 6% had antibodies, indicating exposure.
By mid-summer 47% did. Half the population.
Not one person was hospitalized or died…https://t.co/XVoJfjEcrv
