Merry Christmas 🎄 🥂 Most winter bugs don’t mainly spread via touch. Flu, RSV, COVID, colds and more spread through shared indoor air - even without coughing. Normal breathing and talking is enough. Open the windows, even just a bit. Freshen the air.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

While fresh air is good, trying to clean the air chemically is not. The atmospheric chemistry community has been saying this for a long time; the best ways of cleaning indoor air is physical removal (filters/sorbents/air exchange).

I fully agree with Prof. Chris Whitty and Dr. Hans Kluge of the WHO. The great lesson of the pandemic has been the importance of Indoor Air Quality. Improved IAQ would also reduce RSV, flu etc, and prepare us for the next pandemic. Ireland had the 4th highest rate of asthma in the world in 2019.

If you are using a CO2 monitor to examine your ventilation remember: A difference between 750 and 850 ppm is not a big deal. Activity level, # people, calibration all impact values. You are looking for a difference between 750 and 3000 ppm. Find the bad rooms!
