TL;DR - Wearing a mask and having others around you wear masks seems to be granting people immunity to the virus by minimising exposure to it.
Completely unproven at this point, of course, but yet another good reason to wear a mask. |
Viral load can be very important as to whether our immune systems can fight and win. So I think they may have something with this idea that masks help.

French radio just gave new information that over 50% of the population in Care Homes there died within the first few weeks of the first spike. Whereas the "normal" rate was under 15%.
