There wasn't a word in the piece about general mask mandates for flu! Ventilation, air-filtering, some technologies that can kill germs in high-risk/crowded places, etc. Voluntary mask wearing can be deployed as appropriate, as Asian countries long have.https://twitter.com/Ubi_est_veritas/status/1450457994190200834 …

What is an appropriate level of intervention? a HEPA filter in every room in the world? There's been at least two studies showing how prominent virus' live in the air of hospital rooms despite good ventilation

Been wondering when we'd get to the "you all have to wear masks forever" stage.
