Viral dose is an important factor in severity of COVID. As India waits for vaccines, I urge people in India to wear masks and avoid crowds. This is the best way to reduce viral dose, and repeated exposures.
Lower viral dose will reduce severity of illness. And reduce deaths.

For over a year we have been saying that masks play a role in reducing viral dose, and at this point I& #39;m more convinced than ever before. Have to unearth old tweets and graphics. https://twitter.com/vincentrk/status/1245691367294197763">https://twitter.com/vincentrk...
Severity of COVID is influenced by many factors, but unfortunately most of these are not in our control. Not easily "changeable": age, obesity, comorbidities, type of mutant variant, genetics, etc.
The one factor that is in our control is reducing viral dose at exposure. https://twitter.com/vincentrk/status/1260918729690546176">https://twitter.com/vincentrk...

As with any poison, dose matters. Do everything you can to reduce dose by staying away from crowds/social distancing, and wearing a mask. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/opinion/coronavirus-viral-dose.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/0...

Finally I wish I knew who posted this epic graphic we saw early on in the pandemic last year, and one I had retweeted many times but cannot find the source.
You get less wet if both of you are wearing pants.
