Many people fall into the false sense of security that their mask will protect them or others. The truth about masks is that they protect others from your droplets, but you still exhale, and the air comes out from the sides of the mask. Your germs still go in the room or in the atmosphere. If everyone wore a mask, there would be a slowdown in people getting Covid-19. But, a slowdown just means that the same quantity of people will get sick, but they will get sick over a longer period of time.
Vitamin D is critical for surviving Covid19. A, C, and D strengthen your immunity along with cruciferous vegetables. Since over the course of the next year, you run a 50/50 chance of being infected, your immunity will help you defeat the virus fast and not get sick. Infected doesn’t equal getting sick. The vast majority of infections are asymptomatic and the people don’t even know they have anything.
In short, protecting yourself from the inside is a more reliable plan, because that doesn’t spread the problem out over a longer period of time — it can solve the problem.
This comment: “Many people fall into the false sense of security that their mask will protect them or others. The truth about masks is that they protect others from your droplets, but you still exhale, and the air comes out from the sides of the mask.” Is an irresponsible statement unless the premise of the statement is about ‘proper mask wearing’. To make it a given that your droplets will come out of the sides of the mask is only true for the people who wear them improperly (like the people who wear them with their nose still exposed). Proper mask wearing is the first line of defense for both the person wearing the mask, and those around him/her. The next line of defense is distance or social distancing. The third and most effective line of defense is vaccination. However, until 70-80% of the population is vaccinated, ‘proper’ mask wearing is the first line of defense. Additionally, vitamins A, C, and D help the immune system, but is not in the line of defense against THIS virus! Maybe others, but not THIS ONE. So please be responsible when speaking about it. So far, we’ve lost nearly 550K Americans partly due to irresponsible speech about THIS virus. Let’s not repeat that!
