Masks and air purifiers should not just be suggested in hospitals, they should be required. Until they are required, I would strongly recommend everyone going to a hospital wear an N95+ mask. Most healthcare facilities are not using air purifiers to the extent they should.

As both a certified CAR GUY and an economist-ish, I cannot imagine a headline more designed to drive me, personally, insane. This "flying car" technology is neither new nor novel. It is not practical and would not sell. Let me tell a story of actually useful car tech that never made it to market.
