Ventilation improvements are more effective than even universal masking, yet people are just fully and creepily obsessed with masks. However, there are almost no calls for a program of massive ventilation improvements, a program which would make far more sense and help everyone in society.

Because there will be another pandemic and we should be preparing for that. We should not merely be obsessing over mitigations that do in fact help, but only in the neoliberal sense of “helping” (which isn’t much and foists all responsibility onto the individual).
