We, all, are the #corsirosenthalbox community come to life.

We all share the common interest of having clean lungs - and not catching CoVid.

This is a 🧵of homes in which one person unfortunately brought CoVid back.

But homes where no one else caught it. Image
Please @ me if I didn't catch your story when I was meandering the halls of Twitter, and you want to be in this 🧵.

As @JimRosenthal4 always says, and I have seen @CorsIAQ agree with.

"We are not helpless!"

Your story:
Have some more waiting confirmation on.

In the meantime, thank you to Mike for the beautiful build!

@faroop the cleanaircrew web site we urge wearing an N95.
Transparency is key!

2nd tweet down:
If you came here because someone tested positive.
Do NOT give up hope!

In home transmission rate is higher than before but still around 33%.

Immediately, everyone put on N95's, crack those windows at least an inch, and get the sick person by themselves in a room.
Then read these:
Isolation room:


$900 Air Cleaning for $100 Long thread - may want to jump to ...next couple of links.

Another "CoVid snuck in the back door, but no one else caught it" addition!

(These take time as I need confirmation and permission to add. If you have a story? Do a tweet, and then retweet it @ me ! )

Another "CoVid snuck in the back door, but no one else caught it" addition!

Probably the most high-profile addition to the "CoVid snuck in the back door, but no one else caught it" 🧵.

Folks, we are NOT helpless!

(He confirms no spread later in the thread).

Someone came home with CoVid? These 🧵's are for you.

You are not helpless - and not alone.

Another shared excellent thread of someone who had someone bring home CoVid - and everyone else stayed safe:

Got a friend who tested positive and has loved ones at home?

Lend them yours! And build an extra one for yourself!

(Way to go, Kevin!)

Need to talk a principal or a boss into bringing in a #CorsiRosenthalBox ?

Another report of "CoVid came home as an unwanted guest - and got the boot after infecting no one else."

This is the 18th family that has had CoVid show up as an unwanted houseguest - and no one else caught it.

Due in part to the #corsirosenthalbox.

Number 19!

20th story of success using a #CorsiRosenthalBox and a variety of other interventions to kick CoVid back out the door after it comes calling.

Even when it's BA2 or Omicron.

We are NOT HELPLESS!

21st story of success using a #CorsiRosenthalBox

YOU are NOT HELPLESS!

(TLDR?
Family of 4. Vaccinated, boosted, ventilation, CR boxes, masks, and tests. )

22nd story of #corairosenthalbox of success!

23rd story of #corsirosenthalbox success!

To quote Jim Rosenthal, "We are not helpless!"

See a tweet of a family exiting with no further transmission? Tag me!

24th story of Covid coming calling with one person in the house - and leaving empty-handed.

25th story of Covid coming calling with one person in the house - and leaving empty-handed.

26th personal story of success with keeping Covid at bay, despite its attempt to get the whole family.

Always remember - respirators, ventilation, filtration, and a fired-up will to win.

We are not helpless!



Image
Image
27th story of #corsirosenthalbox (and other clean air tech like N95s) success, keeping CoVid at bay - despite infecting family members.

H/t @joeyfox85 and @PettersenKenny !

If you are reading this, worried about CoVid spreading in your home, brought home by a loved one?

Don't be.

This is the 28th story of success of using the #corsirosenthalbox to keep CoVid from spreading in the family.

In this case, also used were.....

""N95 (or P100) mask when entering the isolation area. Isolation area had its own small kitchen so entering wasn't needed frequently. Home tests (BinaxNow if I recall correctly) were used to determine end of isolation." Image
WE ARE NOT HELPLESS!

29 families who had Covid sneak in with one loved one....and there it stayed.

No one else got it.

These are their words. Their "how-to's" - written to help YOU!

More details on the 29th.

The 30th story of #corsirosenthalbox success!

As always, it's not just the box, but N95s, etc, all working together to keep you inhaling clean air. Image
And as always - their story in their words!
31st successful story of the #CorsiRosenthalBox protecting the rest of the family after one member came home positive.

This one is longer - but the careful thought into where the air flows in the home makes it worth it!

If you are Covid Aware you have probably been avoiding the dentist. Well, the dental studies have come to you.

This edition? #CovidAwareSoReducingDentalVisits - Water flossing (WF) edition.

Or, as I like to think of it, the Gum Salon.

Thread.
Flossing is necessary for those super tight contact points as you see in the above thread, and is great to remove plaque down 1 mm deep in the gum line (gently).

InterDental Brushes are fantastic and go down 2-3 mm into the gum line to remove plaque.

And WFs in general, are, well, amazing!!

They basically go back and forth with InterDental Brushes on which is better as far as being the top of the food chain for overall cleaning of the space between your teeth.

But.

If you have gum recession, you may have this Image

#CovidAwareSoReducingDentalVisits - less mouth open = less 'vid risk.

I am a GREAT flosser. My family thought we had genetic gum disease.

Below we can see rubber stick on the left, floss on the right, and a InterDental Brush (IDB) in the middle.

See the problem?
/1 Image
A couple more example pics on why I am sick to my stomach thinking of all that money wasted.

We THOUGHT we had great dentists. Not a single one mentioned IDBs, and how the bristles allow all interdental spaces to be reached.

And it gets better!

/2 Image
Image
IDBs actually reach down in between the gum and teeth - 2-3 mm. Floss? Only 1-2 mm.

As plaque grows down into and touches your gums, that's what causes them to get inflamed - and begin to retreat (very simplified).

If you brush that space? Problem solved.

/3 Floss, Interdental Brushes, and Waterpics Use all of them - floss works great for those narrow spaces. Interdental Brushes (IDB) work great in larger spaces. Waterpics work great immediately after eating, as you want to wait for an hour eating acidic/sweet just like regular brushing. It is a mistake to NOT IDB. Multiple studies indicate IDB is good, including this RCT where IDB was better than flossing (free version - great how to brush) - with people with chronic periodontitis. Students found IDB to be better. But IDB is better than rubber picks is better than floss. IDB way better ...

Covid Aware Teeth

The Calcium Lactate Rinse. Cheap, super easy to do - and it really enhances your fluoride uptake to re-enamel your enamel.

It's just not very well known, despite being very well supported within studies - and very cheap.

Mix 1/8 tsp with 1 oz water. Shake
thoroughly, till the granules disappear. Takes a few or 20 shakes, then just wait. Rinse for 1 minute. Spit out.

Immediately brush with fluoride or fluoride rinse.

There might be a better powder

I use the same 1 oz shaker as my stannous fluoride rinse comes in.

(That fluoride rinse was $4 cheaper at my dentist than this $24.

My Prevident 5000 ppm actually did not need a prescription - if bought from my dentist, as a couple of side notes.)

.On the one hand, we have study after study showing 36% or so rate of LongCovid.

On the other, we have the WHO saying the rate of LongCovid is only 6%.

I got curious. What drugs are the WHO smoking - and can I get some?

🧵. Image
My 36% comes from the latest massive meta:
eatg.org/hiv-news/more-…

But what about that 6%?

Turns out it's this old chestnut from 2022.

And there are such major players on it...so many I can't even screenshot them all.

But I fear no title - and neither

jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… Image
will you.

The problem with this 6%? There are 200+ symptoms in the LongCovid symptoms constellation.

This study focuses on three clusters.

Which is incredibly vague, which is normal for the WHO.

So, after digging through the f***ing supplement, there are a few symptoms Image

COVID is as transmissible as measles?!

"BUT, BUT, measles can infect up to 90% of people they are in contact with!"

So can COVID.

Time to wake up. The lecturer tried to promote sales of a flax oil product, and many elderly people were lured to attend by the promise of free eggs, Xinhua News Agency reported. He gave three lectures on Jan 10 and 11 in a Tonghua classroom while not wearing a mask, with each lecture lasting about 2.5 hours. A total of 97 people, most of them retirees, attended the lectures in a classroom whose doors and windows were closed, the China CDC report said. The lecturer went to a pharmacy at noon on Jan 10 due to muscle pain and other symptoms, indicating he was likely at an early stage of the disease then, it ...

So, some will be pushing back - always welcome, albeit this is anticipated.

Rnaught is just an estimate.

The famous measles 12-18 is shown below.

But the R0 of 6-8 has the most estimates.

Remember THAT scene from Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman - "It's Airborne." ?

SARS-COV-2 is airborne via HVAC. Just like TB is - but it is way more contagious.

Still no panic, right? We know how to be safe.

Motel 6, or AirBNB - no shared HVAC, is best.

But HOW do we know?

🧵
A recent study in South Africa used Syrian Hamsters to duplicate the study that finally convinced everyone that TB was airborne.

The TB study is interesting because the military vets in VA hospitals were getting infected disproportionately.

So, they used HVAC ducting to In 1956, tuberculosis was a major global killer, and it disproportionately affected military veterans hospitalized in the Veterans Administration hospital system. Then, as now with COVID-19, epidemiologists held that tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases were spread by large infected droplets through person-to-person contact or contaminated surfaces. But Richard L. Riley, an expert on lung physiology at the then Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, and his mentor, William F. Wells, had identified another possible mode of transmission.
connect a 6 room TB ward to 150 guinea pigs.

Of those 150, only 3 PER MONTH got infected.

Illustrating that TRANSMISSIBILITY is just a CLUE to if something is airborne.

Dr. Riley went on to patent UVC tech, and develop the Wells-Riley equation which is so important in airborne Atop the Baltimore VA Hospital, they constructed an air-tight closed ventilation system that connected a six-room tuberculosis ward to an exposure chamber with 150 guinea pigs. (Among rodent animal models, only guinea pigs could cough and sneeze, making them ideal for studying how respiratory diseases spread.) The guinea pigs were exposed to the infected air over a four-year period. A second group of 150 guinea pigs acted as controls: their air ducts were irradiated with UV-C lamps to kill TB bacilli.
In the test group, an average of three guinea pigs per month contracted TB, while no controls were infected. The experiment not only proved the airborne disease transmission of tuberculosis for the first time, but also quantified how many TB infections could be expected to result from exposure to a given number of patients over a defined interval.
The insights from the Baltimore VA Hospital studies were later used to develop the Wells-Riley equation, which quantifies infection risk and informs strategies to ensure staff and patient safety in contagious clinical environments. The model can also calculate the risks of transmission for airborne infections on planes and trains, in prisons, and in other public and institutional spaces. As chair of the Department of Environmental Medicine from 1960 to 1977, Riley warned that the danger of infection from airborne diseases was increasing as people spent more time indoors and air conditionin...
