"Using the same autumn term comparison window across three consecutive academic years, illness-related absence fell from 4.3% to 3.4%, a reduction of around 21%. For a school of Haylingโs size, this equates to more than 4,500 additional pupil-days in school every autumn term.
And the cost? Around 5 pence per pupil per day."
HEPA filters rock! #CleanTheAir #CovidIsAirborne #Covid19
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of an airborne-transmission-informed #publichealth body, let alone one that knows how to communicate...?!?

"An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others."

Please, especially in #LdnOnt, wear a mask in public! #COVID19 is not gone and not "mild". ๐ท #RSV on the rise, too...

"It is not simply a matter of opinion whether COVID-19 is an issue still or not. It is not an opinion whether masking is a good idea still or not. There is an ethical, moral answer here, and there is an unethical, immoral alternative which the majority of us are consistently choosing, whether deliberately or not."
Excellent article summarizing the dangers of ignoring #COVID19 risks.

Six Years and Six Winters Without Getting Sick - WHN https://whn.global/six-years-and-six-winters-without-getting-sick/ via @wallabagapp
We can't claim 6 years just yet, as the state border closure, while letting people through, kept Tassie COVID-free until 2021. And we caught a cold -- only, fortunately -- from the dentist once (hard to mask there).
But this does resonate strongly.
Start the new year with cleaner air. ๐จ Pick up a DIY Corsi-Rosenthal Kit and build your own Corsi-Rosenthal Box. The kit is on sale for only $199.99! ๐ But donโt wait because the sale ends today. โฐ

We Are All Drinking Cost-Effective Investments While Breathing False Economies

"...when you present solutions [to airborne disease spread] โ clean air technologies โ a common rebuttal is โitโs too expensive.โ This is an odd response because when applied to water, the financial outlay required to provide safe, disease free water is never questioned, and is accepted as the status quo."

Wear a well-fitted mask on public transport and in places like doctor's waiting rooms and supermarkets.
Stay up to date on vaccinations.
And most of all... #CleanTheAir
Clean the ever-loving FUCKING AIR.
We have the studies. We have the technology.
The Broad Street Pump was identified years ago. Public services and businesses that require in-person attendance, monitor and filter and improve your #IAQ.
It's 2025. We literally don't have to be catching every fucking airborne bug, or breathing in dust, pollen, mould, exhaust, what have you.
We could live better. We should. We deserve it.

While involved in a discussion on another platform about people forgetting COVID infections & rewriting what occurred emergency phase of pandemic I segued into toxoplasmosis (as you do) so came upon this article.
Red spikes coincide with driving through Sydney harbour tunnel on way to work and back.
Usually have windows open when driving car except for in tunnels.
It was only me in car yet it still fascinates me how quickly CO2 levels rise in the car with air con recirculating.
