Somewhat illogical that after more than two years into the pandemic HEPA filters are still a rare sight to be seen indoors.
So chemical compounds in general yes, but especially aerosols-as-viral-vector still pose a threat:

- colineartheta 4y agoCan you name a greater one?

- crazygringo 4y agoReally? I feel like they've popped up everywhere, never seen so many air filters in my life. I feel like every doctor's reception area, daycare, dance studio, meeting room... every little public room that doesn't have HVAC has a little air filter in the corner or on a side table. Often one the Levoit air purifiers that got so crazy popular on Amazon. As to whether they replace the filters regularly enough, I have no idea... I also figure they have little-to-no effect when 20 people are in the room and its fan is on its weakest (quietest) setting.
