Masks offer much more protection against coronavirus than many think

SAN FRANCISCO — There’s a common refrain that masks don’t protect you; they protect other people from your own germs, which is especially important to keep unknowingly infected people from spreading the coronavirus.
But now, there’s mounting evidence that masks also protect you.

If you’re unlucky enough to encounter an infectious person, wearing any kind of face covering will reduce the amount of virus that your body will take in.

As it turns out, that’s pretty important. Breathing in a small amount of virus may lead to no disease or far more mild infection. But inhaling a huge volume of virus particles can result in serious disease or death.

The Liar Tweets Tonight!

My doctor just told me I drink too much

WATER!!!

Who knew the guidelines had changed? I could not have been happier to get the news because I hate drinking water and have had to make myself get caught up on what I thought was the needed daily intake pretty late in the day. As a result, I have long been sleep-deprived as a result of having to get up every 1 - 2 1/2 hours a night.

Anyway, cheers!
