An Asthmatic's COVID-19 Defense (a gas mask over a surgical mask protected me daily from pollution and COVID)

To survive traffic pollution and COVID-19 Pandemic, especially after lockdown and quarantine at our city, I used a gas mask over a surgical or cloth mask, whenever I went to work, market, etc. I find this SAFER because it is now scientifically proven that COVID is transmitted and aggravated by air pollution.
