On a related note, it turns out that CO2 emissions also impair cognition. So, by the time the crisis peaks everybody is going to be too cognitively impaired to actually do anything about it.
We examined the impact of indoor plants on air quality parameters in office environments, focusing on relative humidity, indoor air temperature, and CO2 concentration. Our findings demonstrated that, while indoor plants significantly increase relative humidity, they had a negligible effect on indoor air temperature and CO2 concentration in the offices we sampled. This suggests that while plants can enhance comfort in dry indoor environments, their role in regulating temperature and CO2 levels is limited.
The only maintenance required is changing
of the activated-carbon filter every six months, and replacement of the HEPA filter
every five years. In normal use, the carbon dioxide filter cassette has a lifetime of
at least 15 years.

We're too cognitively impaired to do anything about it right now.

there's certainly a good case for that too

Effects of indoor plants on CO2 concentration, indoor air temperature and relative humidity in office buildings
I guess I’d need to invest in a CO

I have no idea what the cost, efficacy, or availability of this product is. https://hydrocell.fi/en/air-cleaners-carbon-dioxide-filters-and-dac-appliances/uniqfresh-air-cleaners/

yeah seems like co2 scrubbing isn't really geared towards home use
