The overall tone indicates a strong agreement with the idea that self-infection via speech aerosols may influence disease severity, with comments like 'another reason to stop talking so much' and 'rest your voice too,' emphasizing practical actions. The language, combining curiosity and urgency, reflects both engagement and perceived potential impact of the research findings.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions acknowledge the publication's hypothesis that self-infection through speech aerosols could impact COVID-19 severity, with some emphasizing agreement and interest.
InterestHigh interest
Numerous comments explore the implications of the findings, showing strong curiosity and relevance to health practices.
EngagementModerate engagement
Participants actively debate the theory, suggesting actions like resting the voice, wearing masks, and further research, indicating thoughtful engagement.
ImpactModerate impact
The discussions highlight potential practical applications, such as mask-wearing and communication strategies, which could influence public health measures.
Abstract in brief
Self-infection with speech aerosols could play a role in increasing the severity of COVID-19 cases.
The study suggests that aerosols produced while speaking can contain the virus and potentially infect the same individual again.
This self-infection route might help explain variations in disease severity among infected individuals.]
Interesting new paper argues that, in addition to preventing transmission, masks also cut down on self-infection of the lungs.
This may be the primary reason behind @MonicaGandhi9's observations of lower disease severity amongst mask wearers

@justthefacts85 Anytime I talk to anyone over the phone while they're sick with covid, I tell them to hang up and stop talking to me. In fact, talk as little as possible. https://t.co/Q4gw9xTLHu
@PhyllisG123 @sameo416 @BarryHunt008 @jana0C @DFisman @lisa_iannattone @AmyTanMD @DGBassani @dgurdasani1 This is very, very interesting to me.
Why isn't this being studied?
This would be easy to study in a hospital.
Slap N95's on patients. Document severity.
Less severity? Further confirmation of this.....

Proposed hypothesis explaining the documented effect of cloth masks on reducing COVID-19 severity:
Masks may prevent "self-infection" from upper respiratory tract (URT) to lower respiratory tract (lungs)
Infection in lungs➡️severe disease

@nurse_supermom @J_Cronq @ExtroSpecteur @bumblebuzz6 @crwequine Yes, rest, including resting your voice, use other communication methods like messaging or text to speech as much as possible https://t.co/4oLpUtlm1C

@kitchencone @ServaasCarbonez @DavidElfstrom @YouAreLobbyLud Not only because your cognitive performance declines substantially with such high CO2. Some people need to work while in their hotel room. But also against self inoculation comparable to the protection by facemasks against self-inoculation described here https://t.co/7iSYvPDJOD

@jouwannes @wol976 @VTM @VRT Dit klopt niet. Indien je besmet bent zorgt een masker er zelfs voor dat een deel van de schadelijke aerosolen die je uitademt in het masker worden gecapteerd => minder virussen uit je eigen wolk die opnieuw worden ingeademd. https://t.co/7iSYvPDJOD
@AnjaLenaerts Gezien dit onderzoek suggereert dat een besmet persoon door dragen v mondmasker voorkomt dat de EIGEN aerosolen terug (dieper) worden ingeademd, ben ik geneigd ervan uit te gaan dat je ook beter uit elkaars buurt blijft.

@alscriv @EhleryR https://t.co/Q4gw9xTLHu ; It's an interesting hypothesis. Yes, similar to what you're describing. Increasing viral exposure in general and also increasing lower respiratory track exposure.
@jana0C @apmalong @BarryHunt008 @DFisman @lisa_iannattone @AmyTanMD @DGBassani @dgurdasani1 There was a hypothesis of “self-infection” and that masking could decrease it. I’d imagine good filtration/ventilation would similarly reduced self/infection. https://t.co/Q4gw9xTLHu

@NathanMackBrown Interesting study on how speaking maskless while infected may increase disease severity.
https://t.co/SeC2KSFk2v
@VNKO_be @realBertBlocken @jdceulaer Ik weet, dat laatste klinkt wellicht gek, maar ook bij dragen v mondmaskers lijkt er sprake van een zekere mate van zelfbescherming bij de besmette persoon door het dragen van een masker. Je kunt hetzelfde ongetwijfeld bekomen door luchtreiniging dichtbij https://t.co/7iSYvPDJOD https://t.co/J7bs9DEDBN

@PhilWMagness It's this paper. https://t.co/relmtankai.
The citation they use is M Gandhi's "theory" paper that has "potential" in the title and zero 'documented evidence'. No need to even pretend at integrity anymore./2 https://t.co/K7QWDljIHt
