Wearing a mask slows down the spread of covid and increases immunity

Before the smallpox vaccine was invented, doctors were trying to evaluate people. Doctors used to give the substance from the body follicles of smallpox patients to people who did not get the disease.

Because of this, people would get mild infections, but they would survive the outbreak of a dangerous disease like smallpox. Now some scientists are making the hypothesis that wearing masks in the epidemic of Kovid can lead to similar results.

In an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers Monica Gandhi and George W. Snyder of the University of California, San Francisco. Sudharford said that a mask on the face can be a means of boosting the immune system in a person and can slow down the spread of Kovid infection.

Experts believe that this theory is valid. This is because the severity of Kovid-19 disease depends on how much of the virus has entered the human body. Gandhi and Rutherford say that because the mask filters out the drylets containing the virus, less virus enters the body of the person wearing the mask. As a result wearing a mask slows the spread of the corona.

Experiments were performed on rats to substantiate this theory. The mice were wearing simulated masks. These experiments concluded that rats were either more likely to be infected.

The symptoms of the disease were mild or not at all in his body. In the experiment, one group of rats wore masks and the other did not. The effect of infection in both groups was then compared.

The sole purpose of finding the corona vaccine is not to prevent the spread of an epidemic infection. One of the purposes of most vaccine experiments is to reduce the severity of the disease. Researchers have cited the example of a cruise ship from Argentina in this regard. In which the infection of the passengers and crew of the two ships in which Kovid-19 was spread was compared.

Eighty-one percent of the crew in which the crew wore N95 masks and the passengers surgical masks had an asymptomatic infection. While in the other ship the passengers and crew did not use the mask, only 20 per cent of the passengers were asymptomatic and the rest were severely affected by the corona.
