Cheapo Masks Still Can Protect against Covid-19

This  NY Times Article  tells us that the damage caused by Covid-19 is more than likely dose dependent. In other words, you will probably survive a few viruses but succumb to a massive intake. This is important vis-a-vis the latest controversy over wearing masks in public. Luckily for us all, many are buying into the idea.
