There must be pathophysiological reason why "cold" viruses like SARS-CoV-2 show proclivity to nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharyngeal cavity and upper airways which have lower temperature than core body temperature. Henceforth, facemasks' "therapeutic" role against SARS-CoV-2 must be explored because personal "therapeutic" environments may get created under facemasks due to rebreathing of ~95°F "hot" and ~80% "humid" exhalations which may constantly mitigate SARS-CoV-2 inside nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharyngeal cavity and upper airways.
一定存在病理生理学原因,导致像 SARS-CoV-2 这样的“寒冷”病毒偏爱鼻腔、口腔、咽腔和上呼吸道,这些部位的温度比核心体温低。因此,必须探索口罩对 SARS-CoV-2 的“治疗”作用,因为由于 ~95°F 的“热”和 ~80%的“湿”呼出物的再呼吸,个人的“治疗”环境可能会在口罩下形成,这可能会不断缓解鼻腔、口腔、咽腔和上呼吸道内的 SARS-CoV-2。
