I saw a study a while back that claimed that good filtration and ventilation systems in indoor public places were more effective than masking. If that's the case, what I'd like to see is subsidies for businesses and public buildings to get.new systems installed, as well as new minimum air quality standards for public spaces with inspections for enforcement.

This is a good start, but even if this all was enacted I'd still mask up during COVID surges. There's no way in hell I would trust any business to do what's best for the general public.

Hence inspections. Like we have health inspections for restaurants, we could have HVAC inspections.
