I agree with you on the ventilation. Honestly, at this point, I'm not confident this country could successfully initiate a nationwide campaign to upgrade infrastructure like that if it tried. What I do expect to see is private businesses taking the initiative to suppress indoor transmission, to reduce frequency of illness among employees (it can't all be suppressed by refusing sick days as some covid infections are just too brutal to work through, and visibly sick service workers can be upsetting to customers) and to advertise to people who would otherwise be reluctant to consume due to having some level of anxiety about covid (this population I expect to gradually and surreptitiously increase as direct health consequences of infection reverberate among social circles). The inequity of the pandemic will continue with richer schools and fancier offices getting better ventilation, UV lights, and other gadgets - a trend we're already seeing.

Thank you for the condolences. I am thankfully doing a lot better than I was two years ago, though definitely not the same as before my infection. I hope you make it through this as healthy as possible :meow-hug:
