Being an asthmatic, I had constantly been on some antibiotic or another to treat the standard "chronic bronchitis" that comes with using inhalers, for the past 30 years. It always returned shortly after I finished the course, so I'd suffer with bronchitis for months until I got tired of it and got another prescription.
I have not had bronchitis since Mar 2020, when I started wearing a KN95 mask, the type I continue to wear to this day. I do not think this is a coincidence.
