I know we need the masks now but it shouldn't be a permanent solution. It's very invasive. For 30m on the metro perhaps but not all day at work, school... If covid isn't doing away there must be a better way to reduce levels enough. After all it's only a mitigating measure, not a 100% preventative one.
I air my house every day too. Because I love the fresh air.
I hope that in the mean time we'll get powered masks though that don't have all these drawbacks. Especially for people like me with medical issues. Razer has one already but it's impossible to get (I've tried getting one on the last drops and they sell out before my order page loads) and it looks too much like a massive gas mask IMO. It's not suitable for a lot of situations. Still, I'd get one if I could :'(
