Universal Masking In Schools Work; Data Shows How Well

It is kind of obvious that mask should make a difference. especially if we are talking respirator masks (N95/Ffp2/Kn95 etc) that are designed to protect the bearer from patogens like viruses. What we have sort of lacked is a real world comparison between a larger number of schools that keeps mask requirements and schools that remove mask requirements. And the result is clear: it makes a big difference. The first link is to the Time article about the NEJM published study.

Schools Are Significant Sites Of Covid Transmission

Swedish health authority Folkhälsomyndigheten among a few others, UK government etc, have claimed that children don’t spread Covid and that schools aren’t driving the spread. Most epidemiologists disagreed from the very start and just watching statistics on age groups have given proof to the view of schools actually being the major force in driving the pandemic. Here is solid proof. That’s why it is very important to use counter measures in schools in order to slow down spread in society as a whole.

1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men in EU may develop Long Covid, WHO says

Most people seem too be ignoring the risk themselves wether they will contract Long Covid or not. Even though the risk is 20-33% depending on wether you are a man or a woman. A large portion of the population will regret their approach on Long Covid.

It seems not all Covid-19 patients develop antibodies

Note eryone develops antibodies against SARS-Cov-2 when infected. It isn’t suprising since it is a common result when the same thing is investigated in other viral infections. Many factors are involved.

Later variants have mutated enough to not show up on single gene PCR-tests. For testing to function satisfactory PCR-tests now need two gene detection.
