Face Masks might generate immunity against COVID-19
Universal masking could possibly help in acquiring immunity. This expectation has born out from a hypothesis that states "the viral inoculum matters in determining the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection". If this hypothesis is true, then it must be true indeed that mask is really helping to decrease the viral load one might receive from an infected person, thereby decreasing the symptomatic infections. Hence the relative number of asymptomatic cases compared to symptomatic ones will increase. Hence we could expect to gain immunity without increasing the severe illness cases and deaths.
