Hey here’s another doozy on reinoculation in the article

TLDR: being locked ina room with covid is literally the worst thing you can do to yourself. Literally go out side and get fresh air

It is well-recognized that COVID-19 exists outside the human body in a bioaerosol of airborne particles and droplets. Because exhaled air in an infected person is considered to be “loaded” with inoculum, each exhalation and inhalation is effectively reinoculation.15 In patients who are hospitalized, negative pressure is applied to the room air largely to reduce spread outside of the room. We propose that fresh air could reduce reinoculation and potentially reduce the severity of illness and possibly reduce household spread during quarantine. This calls for open windows, fans for aeration, or spending long periods of time outdoors away from others with no face covering to disperse and not reinhale the viral bioaerosol.

Or, you know, having a mask over your mouth and nose all the fucking time? Holy fucking shit.

edit: It does actually say that. I want off this ride.
