The best way to protect yourself from #covid is to wear a RESPIRATOR (not a surgical mask). You are even safer if you crack open windows and use a HEPA air purifier.

I recommend NIOSH approved respirators such as:

3M Aura (white)
Benehal (black)

In severe cases, blood clots form in blood vessels throughout the body, leading to multiple organ failure.
