I saw a study a while back that claimed that good filtration and ventilation systems in indoor public places were more effective than masking. If that's the case, what I'd like to see is subsidies for businesses and public buildings to get.new systems installed, as well as new minimum air quality standards for public spaces with inspections for enforcement.

This is a good start, but even if this all was enacted I'd still mask up during COVID surges. There's no way in hell I would trust any business to do what's best for the general public.

Schools, get the schools some serious ventilation upgrades. Petri dishes full of cootie factories…

If we couldn't achieve this when everyone was scared of covid, what makes you think we'll pull it off now? This fight is lost. We're just going to keep getting exposed to this shit, and take cardiac damage every time.

Yes, and I've always worn a mask when needed, but filtration and ventilation require planning and funding, mask policies allow for the individualization and moralization of health crises.

My girlfriend brought Covid home like three times last year I didn’t get sick once I just have decent. HVAC and I get the high quality Vairo filters that put extra strain on the HVAC.
