Corona Virus And Masking Is Just A Part Of Propaganda
Millions of confirmed cases around the globe and millions of deaths that has been caused by COVID-19 and I don’t understand how people still believe that corona virus is just a part of some propaganda? A renowned science editor and Ph.D. holder in medical clinical science Jackson Ryon has called these types of conspiracies against vaccines and masking as a dangerous and ill informed conspiracies. It is not important to have symptoms when you are infected and so it is important to wear a mask always when you go out not just to save yourself from getting infected but also to save others from you because even if you are asymptomatic, you still can be spreader. You can easily find supporting journals and articles by science and medical bodies.
You Just Have To Cover Your Face Using Anything
Covering you face with just anything won’t be helpful. A mask must be fit to your face, there must not be any gap left for droplets to enter. N-95 masks give you 95% of protection by blocking tiny particles. You can read about the masks that have been recommended by WHO.
Masks Are For Sick People Only
By now you must be aware of asymptomatic and that they can also spread the virus same as any symptomatic one. Even if you do not have any symptoms, you must wear face mask to protect yourself.
You Breathe CO2 When You Wear Masks
According to WHO this is total myth that one breathe in more CO2 when while wearing masks.
Masks Weaken Immunity
There is no science behind this also and also just another false propaganda of anti mask community.
Cloth Masks Are Of No Use
Pandemic has created a panic among population and so many theories have come up like only N95 will save you and a cloth mask is inefficient. However, if cloth mask is covering your mouth chin and nose properly it acts as a physical barrier between you’re the droplets and mouth.
