saw discourse about masking today so I put together a little summary of most of the important things people are no longer being informed about since our governments decided to prioritise the mythical beast that is the economy over the population’s actual physical health
some other things I forgot to include
immunity to covid via (current) vaccine doesn’t last forever and neither does immunity via infection, there are multiple variants circulating at any given time
pathogens do not build up your immune system, they tire it out! and covid has some pretty unique abilities to do this
it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any pre existing conditions, you still have a 10-20% chance of getting long covid PER infection, which means statistically you WILL get long covid after 10 infections
the masks you need are respirator masks - n95s, kn95s or kn99s/kn100s - in the UK you can get these from thefacemaskstore.com or medisave! surgical masks and cloth masks do not protect you from getting covid
ventilation helps but you can still catch covid outdoors, especially in crowds
