The analogy is municipal water treatment and sewage treatment to stop cholera.
If I may turn this into a short, punchy statement:
We stopped cholera by cleaning the water we drink.
We will stop Covid by cleaning the air we breathe.
Slogan may need to be a big shorter for a T-shirt?
Feel free to make a design at one of the usual custom T-shirt shops!
Maybe "Clean water stopped cholera. Clean air stops COVID."

I've been wanting to get involved with something like this in Vermont.
Suggestion/amendment: "Clean water stops" rather than "stopped" since people still die of cholera.

Take Action Against COVID certainly has my blessing to develop this into a campaign. The slogan should be considered open-source, let a thousand T-shirts appear...
"Clean water stops cholera. Clean air stops Covid."

We take alteration requests & have produced different localized versions, even rebranding them to help out others' websites/campaigns.
We work in a collaborative way w/medical & STEM professionals (as much or as little as they have time for). We see a huge need to broadcast these ideas visually b/c our govts have never taken #covid19 campaigns seriously.
Plz drop us a DM if you'd like! We'd love guidance & suggestions for turning this slogan into a 💯 campaign.
Actually that should read "stops" for both, cholera being very much still present

I like this shirt idea 🙂
Is there a way to point to the specific clean air interventions without getting much wordier? A term for those three?
I’d want to emphasize that it’s a known problem with known solutions, not just a reiteration of “COVID is airborne”
@Pineywoozle many schools have spurned attempts to donate them
@Pineywoozle it's often a directive from the school board, effectively resulting in a blanket ban.
I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly.
