Faheem Younus, Chief of Infectious Diseases at the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health (UM UCH) in the United States, has revealed several crucial lessons learned after becoming infected with the strain after only one “maskless” family gathering.
He claimed that Omicron infected him two weeks ago, despite the fact that he had been around Covid patients over 1,000 times in the previous two years and had avoided infection due to masks and personal protective equipment.
“However, I was exposed for two days at a maskless family event and was apprehended by COVID.” In such a case, sure. Masks are effective. If you can, wear an N95 or KN95,” he urged on Twitter.
On Twitter late Saturday, he exhorted people to “remember your end” and to “first comply with science, then follow your heart.” “Whether you take COVID or not, think about your own mortality on a regular basis. It (death) puts everything into perspective and helps us to make courageous and meaningful decisions. In a tweet post, he wrote, “Herd immunity is good; herd mentality is harmful.”
