CNN Reports That You Should Wear a Mask in the Winter Because It’s Just a Good Idea

CNN-

In what researchers are calling a scientific breakthrough, scientists behind a new study may have found the biological reason we get more respiratory illnesses in winter. It turns out the cold air itself damages the immune response occurring in the nose.

As it turns out, the pandemic gave us exactly what we need to help fight off chilly air and keep our immunity high, Bleier said.

“Not only do masks protect you from the direct inhalation of viruses, but it’s also like wearing a sweater on your nose,” he said.

Patel agreed: “The warmer you can keep the intranasal environment, the better this innate immune defense mechanism will be able to work. Maybe yet another reason to wear masks!”

In the future, Bleier expects to see the development of topical nasal medications that build upon this scientific revelation. These new pharmaceuticals will “essentially fool the nose into thinking it has just seen a virus,” he said.

    Stop right there, this is BS x’s a 1000. A virus is about .0004!
    Just how does a paper/cloth mask stop it? A virus goes right through the paper or in the gaps around your face like a mosquito through a chain link fence. And for good measure everything you touch and someone else’s touches as well transfers it.
    You want to wear one ? Have at it,
    Leave everybody else out of it.
