Until the real harms from Covid infection are widely understood and accepted, pretty much nothing is likely to change.
Acknowledgement means everything else slots into place easily.
It would no longer be a fight for the obvious steps needed.
There would be a demand for them.

People would want to know how it's transmitted and how to avoid it.
The drive for clean air everywhere would face no push-back.
The thousands of nonsense arguments would be brushed aside.
There are still relatively few of us who know and understand the true harms.

Perhaps society is too far gone and the denial is overwhelming but if everyone knew, and they knew because every Govs and public health department's disseminated this; if every healthcare worker they encounter tells them while wearing respiratory protection - it could change.

If leaders actually showed leadership instead of pretense and nonchalance.
We need quite a lot of people to shuffle aside and face consequences for misdirection too.
Like WHO, IPC figureheads, public health - to shorten the list -- all the gatekeepers who helped cover it up.

We'd have acceptance of:
Airborne transmission being dominant.
Long range transmission important, not just near field.
Respirators being the best protection.
Proper ventilation standards for bioaerosols as well as new standards for filtration and GUV including Far UVC.

We'd have proper control of manufacturers so that mitigations supplied meet specific standards too. No snake oil.
We'd have widespread use and acceptance of masking.
We'd have more lessons for children outdoors when conditions allow.
Proper testing, isolation & sick pay.

Not an exhaustive list but my point is; all the uphill battles so far are because Gov's prevented people knowing what the true risk of harm of infection is.
Changing that is crucial.
It's taking too long.
But every day there's more proof.
It never gets properly communicated.

But we've seen this all before.
Keep passing on the truth to whoever will listen.
Keep promoting the solutions for protection.
Don't accept the status quo because it could change...but ONLY because of people like us.
They want us to be quiet.
I won't accept that.
Stay safe.
