Easiest way to avoid multiple viruses, never going to stop wearing a mask
yup before the pandemic i used to get sick much more frequently than the average person, i’m talking like I’d probably get sick for a week at a time 4-5 times a year but ever since masks have become a thing I just never get sick
100%. Now 3 years since having a viral illness. I wish I knew masks were this effective years ago
and disabling them, which might be worse to go through.
last times ive had covid its been pretty mild. ive heard the new variants are mild, but i also wear the mask becausse studies have shown it can weaken the virus if you do catch it, giving you better odds. so i'll never stop wearing the mask :shrug-outta-hecks: :bane:

And the people most likely to die from it are, y’know, dead now.
My understanding is that reducing the amount of virus particles you are exposed to means the virus takes longer to ramp up and gives your immune system more time to come online, but I don't know how true that is.
Also, immunity to Covid is very complicated. It has a lot of properties that directly attack or evade the immune system. Moreover, it is evolving rapidly and dramatically, with new strains emerging every few months that are distinct enough from the old strains that infection with the old strain does not confer significant immunity to the new strain.
That's the spirit. Reducing the number of infections is important to your long term health.
