    They should invent filters that you can put over your body parts that help stop transmission of COVID.

      Sounds nice, but how, exactly, would you filter a disease?

      The engineering effort will be greatly reduced if you focus on filtering SARS-CoV-2 instead. It turns out that if you avoid SARS-CoV-2 infection, the COVID-19 disease will not develop. No need to overcomplicate the problem.

        You tried to be pedantic but failed, they said “stop the transmission of covid” which implies stopping the virus that causes it

          True, but everyone loves the “Nobody likes a pedant” responses, so there is sacrifice to get the good stuff.
