Not sure how this helps. As soon as your kid sneezes near you, you're gonna catch covid. Air quality seems like a solid usage but in your house vs covid/flu? Your fan is gonna lose. Covid from outside your home? It's a non-issue and doesn't happen.

That isn't for sure. Last I checked (over a year ago, so different variants) 50% of spouses sleeping together didn't catch COVID.

We are reasonably sure that amount of virus particles you are exposed to is a factor on if you will get COVID. So the more you can eliminate the better your odds are.

Delta is at least twice as virulent as the old strains.
