Hate lockdowns and mask mandates? Cleaner indoor air by better filtration and ventilation will make lockdowns and mask mandates less necessary in the inevitable next pandemic.

@freemo There is considerable evidence of the benefits of cleaner air. I haven't seen any evidence contrary to this.

@freemo Cleaner indoor air is not the same as a sterile environment

@freemo This does not contradict the benefits of cleaner air

@freemo Sure, theoretically there might be a point where this is a problem but improving ventilation and current air filtration is hardly at the point where there is any conceivable risk

@freemo It would clearly be beneficial, even outside of a pandemic. For example, studies show that children learn better in schools with cleaner air. Of course we also need to prepare ahead of time to have cleaner air if we are going to be prepared for future pandemics.

@freemo The data however says the opposite--it is exposure to dirty air which increases risk of autoimmune disease. Cleaner air would also reduce this risk:

@freemo No, I picked what represents the consensus of thought, not an outlier.

Wikipedia is hardly a reliable medical reference.

@Mopcku @freemo Right, it is not as if clean air in class rooms will mean children aren't exposed to anything anywhere

Yet again, the medical literature is clear that masks work.

Israel has used the media law initially aimed at Al Jazeera to shut down AP. Keep this in mind when the law calling for the TicTok ban is ultimately used to censor other internet sites in the United States.
