Scientists have named the type of mask that reduces the risk of contracting COVID-19 to zero
This protector is different from the masks most people wear.
In just a year and a half, it became almost indecent to appear in public places without masks. The naked face attracts irritated glances with mute reproach. The logic of most people is clear: ready to risk your health is your right, but why create danger for others?
Today, a disposable medical mask is the most common and affordable means of protection against coronavirus. Such masks are inexpensive, hypoallergenic and, most importantly, comfortable to wear, due to the fact that they do not squeeze or injure the face.
And yet, according to research by scientists from the University of North Carolina United States1, the protection level of such masks is only 30%.
And best of all, a high-quality mask such as FFP19 copes with the task of protecting against Covid-3. It fits snugly to the nose and mouth and also has an additional layer of protection against the smallest droplets.
Scientists from the University of Cambridge2 they even claim that with direct contact with an infected person, such a mask will reduce the risk of getting sick to zero (!)

Still, respiratory protection is a temporary measure. Sooner or later, the mask will have to be removed, and just at this moment the coronavirus may have time to attack you. The body is able to cope with an attack in the presence of immunity. This is why doctors around the world strongly advise against delaying and getting vaccinated.
By the way
Sociologists from Yahoo News3 and YouGov4 conducted a survey to find out how Americans feel about vaccinations. It turned out that many are in no hurry to get vaccinated yet.
51% the unvaccinated argued their indecision with some mistrust of the vaccine, although the degree of knowledge of the effectiveness of the vaccine is growing rapidly.
5% of respondents admitted that they are in no hurry to get vaccinated because of the huge queues in American hospitals and the inability to make an appointment at a convenient vaccination point.

12% of the total number of respondents said that they are not afraid to get infected, because they simply do not believe in either the deadly virus or its variety.
But doctors are sure that the danger of getting sick is real, and they urge unvaccinated people to reconsider their attitude to vaccination.
In Russia, too, people have an ambiguous attitude towards anticonvulsant vaccination. But few people know that we have had something similar in the history of our country and that this “similar”, as now, was not believed for a long time.
“In 1771, Moscow refused to believe in the plague, calling it a spotted fever.” After 250 years, history repeats itself “, – said medical historian Dmitry Zhuravlev in an interview with the publication .
Dmitry recalled that then shops, taverns, government institutions were closed. Attempts were made to isolate the sick, but many Muscovites hid their sick and deceased relatives, not trusting the authorities.
“Apparently, the Russians have it in their blood!” – the expert even joked, after which he added in a serious tone: “Only tough but consistent measures made it possible to convey to the residents of the capital the need to fight the disease and live so that it does not reappear.”
