I don't get this mindset at all. Temporarily masking up at pretty much zero impact to the user vs. upgrading all building's HVAC system.

  But upgrading HVAC systems is far more effective.

    Sure but is it realistic, especially in the short term?

      It's been nearly two years and COVID is likely not going away.

  Temporarily? In what was is any of this temporary if COVID is going to be endemic? At some point we need a way forward, and that really shouldn’t require masks in all public settings. BTW - masks completely destroy my beard, so they’re not ‘zero impact’ by any means. ;-)

    I have a beard myself, how could I have forgotten about that. You're right, long term, improving ventilation is how to reduce exposure, in the meantime though, I don't think it's too much to ask to mask up.

      It's been 2 years. How many more do I need to wait?
