call me a luddite, but a tool that generates "reports" full of made-up content is not "efficient" no matter how much faster or cheaper it is than having humans write... a real report

Imagine having a public health body that recommended masks first as a way to protect against airborne viruses 😍
Respiratory virus season is here, but there are steps you can take to protect yourself and others from COVID-19, flu, RSV, and more! Masks, vaccines, good handwashing, and maintaining clean indoor air can help keep you safe and protect your short-term and long-term health.
