Would you share the general lifestyle you’ve lived where you’ve been exposed and taken even mildly ill from covid four or five times?
For example, unmasked attendance to large sporting events, etc?
- hereforphone 5y agoAre masks supposed to protect you, or protect others from you?
- catlikesshrimp 5y agoAll masks are for protecting others from your virus. Microfiber N95 is used for making masks that protect you IF is used properly ( real material, disposable, snug fit)
- hereforphone 5y agoAs I understand it as well. Catching the virus is more likely from touching surfaces coated with the virus then touching one's face, or something similar. Interesting (though not surprising) that my question above has been downvoted. This is a touchy topic where political alignment sometimes supersedes even the will to reason.
- unmole 5y ago> Catching the virus is more likely from touching surfaces coated No. Fomite transmission is extremely unlikely.
- kleton 5y agoMost likely, child-having
- jtbayly 5y agoDo you have any evidence for having children leading to greater likelihood of catching Covid?
- trevyn 5y agoApparently there was even a small protective effect from children in the household, though this went away after schools reopened. One of the hypotheses in this paper is cross-immunity with other circulating coronaviruses: https://adc.bmj.com/content/archdischild/early/2021/03/17/archdischild-2021-321604.full.pdf https://adc.bmj.com/content/archdischild/early/2021/03/17/ar... Based on this, I will continue my practice of licking subway handrails instead of religiously “sanitizing” everything like the person preparing to sit next to me just did.
