They should invent filters that you can put over your body parts that help stop transmission of COVID.

Sounds nice, but how, exactly, would you filter a disease?

The engineering effort will be greatly reduced if you focus on filtering SARS-CoV-2 instead. It turns out that if you avoid SARS-CoV-2 infection, the COVID-19 disease will not develop. No need to overcomplicate the problem.

Well I for one found this just facetious enough to warrant a chuckle

You tried to be pedantic but failed, they said “stop the transmission of covid” which implies stopping the virus that causes it

Nobody likes a pedant

True, but everyone loves the “Nobody likes a pedant” responses, so there is sacrifice to get the good stuff.
