Yeah, the indoor air filtration/circulation thing has been known to be a problem since early Feb. 2020.

However, there are just not too many ways to get away from this without masking on public transportation, airplanes, indoor stadiums, arenas, theaters, and other congested places. There are already federal pandemic funds to upgrade school air circulation, and many have been taking advantage of this.

From looking at how the public was masking up, I'm not real confident in the ability of mask mandates to really keep things from spreading. So many would just wear bandanas, not cover their noses, and do all sorts of other half-measures this year. Mask fatigue was real, and we don't have a culture of wearing them the past 20-years like Asian countries.

I think e2thex or someone else had a son who was a data cruncher and said the numbers said we'd be dealing with this for 3-1/2 years. If that's the case, we've got one year to go.

< we will be stuck with mutations of this pandemic virus until air quality is addressed>

All viruses mutate all the time. Only making them extinct can stop that. Which is impossible with coronavirus, because it has many animal reservoirs.

“Things” are getting better, if you define “better” as fewer deaths, hospitalizations, and economic impact. Best guess, 90% of the U.S. population has been vaccinated, and/or prior infection. These protect against severe outcomes. The pandemic becomes endemic, and we live with it.

Indoor air quality has a marginal impact, in some limited settings: airplanes, restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes.
