I thought that was a chronic rather than acute thing. I'm sure the studies coming out of this will be fascinating, maybe we can finally start to have some real momentum behind cleaning up our air.
Maybe it's acute also? I'm only cursorily familiar with this research, and I might be totally wrong. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/article...tudy-finds
I agree that this is an unparalleled opportunity to demonstrate how clean the air could be if we reduce pollution. I don't expect things to ever be this good again pollution-wise, but we can do a lot better than we were doing.
