A survey completed by student athletes and their parents revealed the harmful effects mask-wearing has had on high school sports players’ physical and mental health.
Seventy-four percent of students who responded reported experiencing at least one “clinically significant symptom” from wearing a mask while playing, including loss of consciousness, dizziness, and vomiting.
And 100 per cent of mask wearers report looking like dorks. Meanwhile, India seems to have dramatically reduced its pandemic problems by mysterious means:
Last September, India was confirming nearly 100,000 new coronavirus cases a day. It was on track to overtake the United States to become the country with the highest reported COVID-19 caseload in the world …
But four months later, India’s coronavirus numbers have plummeted. Late last month, on Jan. 26, the country’s Health Ministry confirmed a record low of about 9,100 new daily cases — in a country of nearly 1.4 billion people. It was India’s lowest daily tally in eight months. On Monday, India confirmed about 11,000 cases.
“It’s not that India is testing less or things are going underreported,” says Jishnu Das, a health economist at Georgetown University.
“It’s been rising, rising — and now suddenly, it’s vanished! I mean, hospital ICU utilization has gone down. Every indicator says the numbers are down.”
Scientists say it’s a mystery.
One theory holds that India’s abundant diseases provide COVID protection:
“All of us have pretty good immunity! Look at the average Indian: He or she has probably had malaria at some point in his life or typhoid or dengue,” says Sayli Udas-Mankikar, an urban policy expert at the Observer Research Foundation in Mumbai.
“You end up with basic immunity toward grave diseases.”
Maybe it’s something to do with diet. Let’s get some goat curry happening, stat.
