Found this interesting. The most recent Osterholm Update podcast discusses reinfections a bit and there are a number of people with confirmed second cases, often more severe than their first. The second infections are confirmed with genetic sequencing.

That's...shitty.

Yep. Thankfully, there haven’t been crazy high numbers of reinfections yet, at least that I’m aware of.

It was like 50-50 chance of it being more severe. The person that died, was an 89 year old with bone marrow cancer that started chemo.

That was from March. I believe since then that opinion has changed as far as what most experts think.

It is still true that if you wear it incorrectly you could be harming yourself more. It is true with all masks.

Um........ considering the point of masks is to prevent transmission by the wearer, isn't "trapping the virus in the mask" sort of the goal?

Yep. We keep getting caught up on articles/studies based on wearing a mask to protect ones self versus wearing a mask to knock your own spittle down well short of six feet.

I am definitely noticing more people wearing the mask pulled below their nose. Also seeing more of those clear face shields being worn, especially by store employees. I'm sure wearing a mask all day would be tough. Might be a long winter if the vaccine isn't approved soon.

It isn’t that the mask doesn’t stop large droplets when people sneeze or cough, but standing in rooms for a long time just breathing, these masks probably offer very little protection for the wearer and the people around them.

Twitter does suppress facts that it doesn’t like sometimes.

My wife has had a cough for two days, can anyone help me with an argument to convince her that she doesn't have COVID?
