If my classroom (with PM2.5=0 all day and desktop #CRboxes spread throughout) has 10 students sick, then imagine how bad things are in all other classrooms/schools throughout Ontario.
Our children DO NOT need to get sick to get stronger.

The key is to prevent illness.
How?
Iota-carrageenan nasal spray, N95 or Q100 respirator, CRboxes/HEPA filters, open windows/doors.
All work together to help prevent airborne pathogen spread.

To prevent infection we must open windows in shared air spaces, use hepa air purifiers or crboxes. Wear an ffp2 respirator. Of course vaccinate to reduce severity, if you can access one.

Adding to this CO2 monitoring tech, the perfect venue would include whisper-quiet PC fan #CRboxes spread throughout the facility because the MERV-8s will do virtually nothing to remove PM2.5s from the indoor air.
Here is a great DIY #CRbox

PPE & actions to clean the air continue to help me avoid any new infections since 2023.
'Public Health' recommendations are generally garbage.
What does work?
-wear a well-fitting respirator (not a surgical mask) in public indoor spaces
-run HEPA/CRboxes 24/7 in common indoor spaces
-open windows

When faced with a capital-A Airborne community outbreak of measles Norfolk General Hospital in Ontario, Canada rolls out the same masking policy it uses for influenza and COVID-19, including maskoptional places like hallways, cafeteria, and hospital units that are not in outbreak.

They’re DIY air purifiers that are way more efficient and affordable than any HEPA filters you can buy on the market reddit.com/r/crboxes
They’re mainly used in schools but as hospitals now also stopped using masks ppl build portable ones to take to the doctor

This happened after I had already caught COVID due to lack of public health safeguards/policies & hazardous guidance.
The mechanical ventilation/filtration upgrades are NOT enough to prevent airborne pathogen spread due to crowded classrooms.
Schools are still unsafe in this respect.

If I could go back in time to speak to myself one year ago, then I would say, " You have always been doing the right thing by wearing your Q100 at work, and cleaning the indoor air with #CRboxes."
I would've also said to get a Doppler ultrasound of my neck & legs. It might have prevented my MI.

We save the most money right now by purchasing Ikea Uppatvïnd filters, and building smaller, table top #CRBoxes with 2 adjacent PC fans/filter. Very efficient for cleaning air & quieter than the big fan models (we use both, but set the large fan models on low speed due to noise)

Looking at last year's class data compared to this year's absenteeism there has been about a 30% reduction in absences.
Why?
Cleaner indoor air, more informed children willing to act to help clean their air (wear N95s), more tabletop #CRboxes.
What could boards do to help? Reduce class sizes...

So so true.
COVID levels the playing field.
Doesn't matter how fit you are, or how well you eat.
COVID will still cause vascular damage to healthy individuals that can quickly become life-threatening.
I'm VERY lucky I survived my MI.

If you are a person who loves being fit and healthy and toned, I can tell you that it would probably be better for you to eat a whole large pizza every single day of your life than to get long covid.

Here is our data at the end of our ~2hr tracking period.
#CRboxes assisted in consistent,effective removal of 91-93% of PM2.5 particulate even under additional stress (e.g., Outside PM2.5 ⬆️ by 7, indoor only went up 2 at the most)
CO2 ppm stayed at or below 600 ppm in the classroom.
Keep kids safe.

Why? Too many bodies in limited, indoor spaces promotes airborne pathogen spread.
Class sizes & school buses are the biggest threats to student health.

I've never stopped wearing my Q100 & cleaning the indoor air around me.
COVID nearly killed me in January.
Its not a joke.
Prevent infection. Wear an N95 or better. Filter indoor air with #CRboxes & HEPA units.
Open windows/doors for better ventilation.
We know how to prevent infection.

Hey listen, covid is really heating up again. I know it sucks. You'll get no judgement from me if you haven't been masking, but now's the time to pull some back out.
You don't want long covid. It sucks way worse than masking.

Didn't take long from there. By Oct 2022, with the help of @robwissink.bsky.social I had constructed many, affordable, PC-fan, #CRboxes out of foamboard. They were all whisper quiet & VERY effective at removing airborne pathogens from the classroom.

School boards, unions, and governments refuse to accept the responsibility of preventing airborne pathogen spread amongst children.
Why?
Money & Politics.
Teachers must step up, spend their own 💰, build their own #CRboxes, get free N95 donations to help protect their students.
