Masked Man Preface:
Masked Man would like to try a little reverse psychology... wanna catch covid/long covid, and contribute to the next variant and its ability to evolve? Wanna catch most airborne diseases and illnesses? Then this refresher course by the World Health Organization is for you!
Here's a simple Refresher Course on how you too can catch COVID-19/LONG COVID (and other airborne illnesses) for those planning on catching airborne viruses such as covid. Simply breathe it in to get sick to help create the next variant. This is a hypotheses that has been proven over the test of time again and again to be evident that those who breathe it or rub it into our membranes tend to get infected. For those planning on sharing germs and contracting disease there is an art to it: simply go maskless to help your chances of inhaling infectious particles and follow the science behind the matter stated clearly in the following established study on how covid is transmitted.... This is the reality behind how to catch covid in a nut shell; a reality that has held up well against the test of time thus far...

SUMMARY:
"How does COVID-19 spread between people?
We know that the disease is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which spreads between people in several different ways.
Current evidence suggests that the virus spreads mainly between people who are in close contact with each other, for example at a conversational distance. The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe. Another person can then contract the virus when infectious particles that pass through the air are inhaled at short range (this is often called short-range aerosol or short-range airborne transmission) or if infectious particles come into direct contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth (droplet transmission).
The virus can also spread in poorly ventilated and/or crowded indoor settings, where people tend to spend longer periods of time. This is because aerosols can remain suspended in the air or travel farther than conversational distance (this is often called long-range aerosol or long-range airborne transmission).
People may also become infected when touching their eyes, nose or mouth after touching surfaces or objects that have been contaminated by the virus".

https://www.nationthailand.com/health-wellness/40050462not to mention currently we face a new variant on the rise namely the new COVID-19/LONG COVID-19 NB.1.8.1 With each new variant are new risks and new unknowns that are imposed on human beings and have a bearing on our comfort and our struggle for existence.
...personal opinion from observation Note: I include the term 'Long Covid' in my statements pertaining to covid because it should be feared even more or just as much than the short term symptoms from the onset when covid first appears. This is a disease that appears to carry long term repercussions and according to most studies wreaks havoc for enough people to say 'long covid' is an organic part of having covid.
