[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] why do you get sick in the winter

[Ted Kochanski]

John,

Interesting except for the comment about masks
“Wearing masks may have a dual protective role,” says Bleier. “One is
certainly preventing physical inhalation of the [viral] particles, but also
by maintaining local temperatures, at least at a relatively higher level
than the outside environment.”

The kind of a mask that can prevent physical inhalation of "naked virons"
needs to be carefully fitted, have an internal positive pressure and has a
filtering capacity beyond HEPA
Now some less capable masks can filter out the small blobs of "stuff"
infected with the virus -- but even that kind of a mask is not something
you will want to wear for extended time

No -- we are all missing the opportunity to focus on cleaning the indoor
air -- make indoor air inhospitable for the virus as the "great outdoors"
and you will dramatically decrease colds, flu, covid and probably other
airborne viral disease

Ted
