Reduced air pollution reduces non-infectious disease too.



Can you please explain me how is air pollution affected by social distancing?

And also article is not discussing air pollution at all, they talk about less fevers detected on smart thermometers. Those are caused by seasonal flu and other viral seasonal colds, obviously because people now take more care, so those other infectious diseases are blocked from spreading too.


Physical distancing prohibits all non-essential travel, much of which would have happened by motor vehicle.
