 We could suppress the rapid mutation of COVID and waves of infections by doing 1 of 3 easy things:  Demand stronger regulations for safe and monitored air in public spaces; wearing masks in crowds; and/or reducing time in crowds, particularly during periods of rising infections (like today!) At the VERY least, we should see continued masking in hospitals where we KNOW COVID infections tend to thrive and cause considerable adverse impact to already vulnerable patients. https://www.cancertherapyadvisor.com/home/cancer-topics/general-oncology/mask-mandates-have-kept-one-cancer-center-free-from-covid-19-others-have-lifted-masking-requirements-despite-patient-concerns/
