Well yeah but that would mean that the government would have to do something, and that's impossible. We can only engage in grifts private-public partnerships.
But they could've done both! Just funnel a bunch of money to retrofit buildings and the very same grifters could've whet their beaks. It was a huge missed opportunity
Ahh but why not cut out the middleman, capitalism is efficient! /s For real though, I feel like they are doing everything they can to brainwash people into not noticing anything is different. No masking means no visual and tactile reminder that things are different. No added ventilation or air filters means no change in routine... If there's nothing different, then people won't be asking what the government needs to do to bring things back to normal. You're totally right though, the government should take simple, effective measures like this to protect people and reduce unnecessary disability and death.
