Covid's over bro. We now have herd immunity in North America.
Even a top doc at Johns Hopkins says so

The only place where it may still rise in big numbers are the prison islands in Oceania.

You may be right, but it didn't end on it's own.

Before we had vaccines, ventilation improvements likely prevented a significant amount of transmission. If ventilation can reduce the transmission of other illnesses, and prevent the next COVID, it's pretty hard to argue that it's a bad use of resources.

Yes, that's important. But it's not a zero sum game where investing in public health somehow takes away from investing in environmentally friendly technology.
