It’s just too bad no one has invented a thing that can significantly reduce the transmission of viruses and the likelihood of hospital-acquired infections. Maybe a piece of cloth that can be worn over the face and mandated in medical facilities, for instance.

The full relevant context is about 38 million hospitalizations per year, 1.7 million hospital-acquired infections per year, and 100,000 deaths to those infections.
Not all of them are from airborne contagion but it is fairly evident from what we witnessed during the lockdowns that we could be doing a much better job hygienically in that regard.
