Covid is far from over so wear a respirator when you’re in public places. The life you save may be your own.
AI is a broken toy Stop playing with it
Use your own imagination instead

Incidentally this area factor is also why lungs are fractal and have a very large surface area contained within a comparatively small volume - same trick as eg the Koch snowflake (finite area but infinite perimeter).
I wonder if we could make fractal masks?

The inventive folks at Clean Air Kits use computer fans to keep their air purifiers quiet
They've done all the math about room size for you
And they even have a whole page about using air purifiers in classrooms (including assembling a kit as a STEM activity)

Clean Air Kits are super efficient air purifiers built simply from banks of silent PC pressure fans and 3M Filtrete virus+allergen filters. Quiet enough to leave on always, powerful enough to protect ...
