Face masks could be giving people Covid-19 immunity, researchers suggest

Mask wearing might also be reducing the severity of the virus and ensuring that a greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic

Face masks may be inadvertently giving people Covid-19 immunity and making them get less sick from the virus, academics have suggested in one of the most respected medical journals in the world.

The commentary, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, advances the unproven but promising theory that universal face mask-wearing might be helping to reduce the severity of the virus and ensuring that a greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic.

If this hypothesis is borne out, the academics argue, then universal mask-wearing could become a form of variolation (inoculation) that would generate immunity and “thereby slow the spread of the virus in the United States and elsewhere” as the world awaits a vaccine.

If only Alex and the other loons would pick up on this. The Telegraph if you are not aware is a right-wing,anti-mask rag.

You get immunity by being exposed to the virus...

Are you suggesting that the masks are actually infected with it???

You get immunity by being exposed to the virus...

So far 198,132 Americans have reached immunity that way!!!!!

THE SUN-------------is likely killing off most of the virus and weakening the remaining .....11-34 minutes is all it takes for the sun to kill the virus. This is likely creating herd immunity.............but then the libs would have to admit going to the beach is a good thing not bad.
