Coughing a lot more indoors?

Thank you! I have seen some bronchiectasis sites recommending to use air
purifiers. Does anyone know if there is an issue with the filters harboring
& dispersing MAC or other bacteria we would be vulnerable to?

I can't say 100% whether the air purifier captures everything but it has to be better than breathing the unfiltered air. There is a HEPA filter at work on the Coway purifiers.

This is directly from their site re: filtering

True HEPA Filter
Captures ultra fine particles like viruses and bacteria
This one-of-a-kind filter captures an incredible 99.97%² of ultra fine particles like viruses, bacteria, fungi and pollen, and includes an antimicrobial treatment to deactivate the spread of contaminants.
