At the very least IAQ should be taken seriously in healthcare settings. People visit them because they are already sick, right? Shouldn't we at least try not to make them sicker? This isn't controversial regarding something like Norovirus or C. diff. #CleanTheAirWeShare

Consumer Reports finds that even a single MERV 13 filter on a box fan will help with wildfire smoke. Next time - try a #corsirosenthalbox. It will work much better and compete favorably with your top choices. consumerreports.org/appliances/air…

Agreed. We believe clean indoor air will provide more public health benefit than anything since water sanitation and vaccination. We need a new golden era of public health to match the early-mid 1900s. Clean indoor air at the spearhead. #CleanTheAirWeShare

When I first started calling Ron DeSantis a fascist, I got blowback from folks in both parties. Now, he’s being so overt about it that people are coming around. Calling DeSantis a fascist isn’t hyperbole, it’s defining what he is. This is a Nazi symbol. 👇🏾

Elite athletes are paying attention to air quality and wearing N95s to reduce their exposure to air pollution because they understand it impacts health and performance cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Unlike the U.S, Switzerland requires gun license, registration, mental health assessment & gun safety training for gun ownership. Swiss authorities decide on a local level whether to give people gun permits. They also keep a log of everyone who owns a gun in their region —

OMG. Seymour Hersh’s handler really messed up. The “anonymous US official” supposed to be briefing Hersh used a russian expression (мальчик в трусиках) that English speakers don’t use. 😂

The really crazy thing about that giant blinking X sign on the roof is that the company reinstated an account that posted an image of child sex torture without penalty wapo.st/3YcNi3y

Great, practical article about how to meet minimal standards for reducing transmission in an indoor setting. Notaby, ⁦Devabhaktuni "Sri" Srikrishna⁩ & ⁦Abraar Karan⁩ landed this in the Harvard Business Review. Kudos to you for putting this out there! hbr.org/2023/07/making…

Bomb threats and ‘swatting’ campaign hits dozens of synagogues. At least 26 institutions have experienced incidents since late July as online trolls work together to harass Jews and other religious minorities.

Very IMPORTANT study - Vaccines or prior infection DO PROTECT against infection for low and moderate exposure to virus - Do NOT be protect if HIGH exposure So N95 masks, ventilation, filtration are CRITICAL, they can turn high exposures into low or moderate, avoid infection!

There is now evidence that immunity (from infection, vaccines or both) matched to one variant gives good protection from others if viral exposure is low/ moderate and not high. Measures which reduce our exposure will maximize the effectiveness of vaccines. #CleanTheAirWeShare
