Man Claims Sweating In The Sun Prevents Covid Infection, Twitter Reacts

Sometimes while going on a grocery run, we realize we forgot our face masks and have to run back and get them. At times, if we wear them for long hours, it can feel uncomfortable. A few people have also complained that masks gave them maskne (mask acne). Having said that, we ALWAYS wear them in public because they prevent us from getting infected with COVID-19.

According to The Indian Express, when an unidentified man at an election rally was asked why he wasn’t wearing one, he explained, “I am not scared of corona. When I am sitting in the sun, corona runs away.”

He further added that this was his own belief that the more he sweats, the fewer chances there are of him getting infected. While some people lauded his sense of confidence, others were appalled at his unwillingness to take appropriate safety precautions amid the pandemic.

With night curfews, weekend lockdowns, and Section 144 being imposed in various states across the country, it is more important now than ever to wear masks in public and maintain social distancing. Stay home, stay safe, everyone.
