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.


The FAQ has same info, but cleanly laid out:

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 ?

cleanaircrew.org/boxfanfilterfa…
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.

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. )


Image
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.


Image
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!

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
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!

This may be the biggest news of the decade. Completely overshadowed by shenanigans in the White House.

It looks like H5N1 reinfections are entirely possible. This means that our farms are going to be a never-ending circulating pump of H5N1.

This. Is. Not. Good.

/1 But reinfections suggest that the virus, called H5N1, could circulate on farms indefinitely, finding opportunities to evolve into a more dangerous form — a “high-risk” scenario, said Louise Moncla, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Pennsylvania. “You could easily end up with endemically circulating H5 in dairy herds without symptoms, obscuring rapid or easy detection,” Dr. Moncla said.
How long can our luck go on?

We now have Bobcats with the one mutation that we really don't want to see.

The PB2 E627K mutation.

"The PB2 E627K mutation is a dominant adaptation marker in most human-adapted influenza A viruses. " PB2 E627K is a mutation in the PB2 gene of the influenza A virus that changes the amino acid glutamic acid (Glu) to lysine (Lys) at position 627. This mutation helps the virus replicate more efficiently in mammalian cells.  How it affects the virus Replication: The PB2 E627K mutation helps the virus replicate more efficiently in mammalian cells.  Disease severity: The PB2 E627K mutation can cause more severe disease in mammals.  Temperature: The PB2 E627K mutation helps the virus replicate in the lower temperatures of the upper respiratory tract of mammals.  How it affects humans Human-adap...

If you are taking public transport like in NYC? Mask up.

Pretty cool Master's Thesis for Biology - on bioaerosols like SARS-COV-2.

Set up a prototype aerosol sampler?

And find it in 52.9% of the samples in Beijing Railway Station and 44.4% at Beijing Subway Station.

/1 The subway station selected for this experiment was Xidan Subway Station, a major subway station on Lines 1 and 2 in Beijing and serves as an important subway transit hub. The passenger flow of the station is expected to be around 7,000 – 12,000 during rush hours and less than 7,000 during non rush-hours. A total of 27 samples have been collected, with the first 10 collected around 9-10am in the morning or 3-4pm in the afternoon, which is considered non-rush hour and 17 collected during the rush hour period. Sampling was collected for 17 weeks in total, not necessarily consecutively taking ...
Bioaerosol Sampling in the Exit Area of Beijing Railway Station.  BC500 was placed near the exit area of the Beijing Railway Station where passenger flow is expected to be the largest. Beijing Railway Station is one of the oldest train stations in Beijing with a large passenger flow that is around 60,000 passengers per day. The bioaerosol sampling device in this scenario is placed at the exit area of the train station, where passenger flow is relatively higher, ensuring better chances of sample collection. However, passenger flow, unlike the subway station is not divided into rush / non-rus...
Never mind this.

"Firstly, the high positive rate highlights the potential for airborne transmission of these viruses in crowded public areas"

Definitely do not flag this to anyone in a big city looking to ban masks.

Definitely do not do that with this new study. The findings of the experiments conducted in this thesis indicate that viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza are not only present but also potentially widespread in these public spaces, which has several important implications. Firstly, the high positive rate highlights the potential for airborne transmission of these viruses in crowded public areas. This is consistent with existing literature that suggests densely populated environments with limited ventilation can facilitate the spread of respiratory viruses. The detection of multiple pathogens reinforces the importance of considerin...
Yes, nothing to see here.....

At Beijing Railway Station, positive samples were
52.9% SARS-CoV-2
47.1% Flu A
23.5% Flu B.

At Xidan Subway Station, positive samples were
44.4% SARS-CoV-2
18.5% Flu A
7.4% Flu B At Beijing Railway Station, 52.9% of samples tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, 47.1% for influenza A, and 23.5% for influenza B. Additionally, 29.4% of the samples were positive for two pathogens, and 11.8% were positive for all three pathogens. The total percentage of negative samples at this location was 29.4%. At Xidan Subway Station, 44.4% of the samples tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, 18.5% for influenza A, and 7.4% for influenza B. Moreover, 18.5% of the samples were positive for two pathogens, with no samples testing positive for all three pathogens. The total rate of negative samples ...

Sara Anne Willette's visualization tool - is not a list. It is a visual representation of a group of accounts, so that she can remove herself from them.

It uses only publicly facing data, available per the X TOS, and the API, not scraping.

IT WILL NOT EFFECT YOU AT ALL. Image

There are some accounts 👇 and their followers that SHE JUST WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH.

It is her choice to remove herself from any account she wants.

The actual data?

✔️ account creation date
✔️ the username of the account,
✔️ who they follow.

All obtained legally per TOS. The list.  Ooo so scary.  You all are acting like high school kids.
Describes user name
The LOCATION that you saw in the blurry used to get you all fired up!?

Picked up from the front page of the profile, but NOT USED.

I live in Temporarily Enabled, USA - but it is not my physical location.

That's it.

Some additional thoughts, from me, not Sara. Not using location

Ozone. A pollutant no matter where it is - outdoors or indoors.

#DYK that indoor inhalation is 25% to 60% of total intake? Per Weschler?

iaqscience.lbl.gov/increases-ozone

#DYK that MOST indoor ozone comes from OUTDOORS? Per Weschler?

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC16…

Truly worried?

🧵 Accounting for the differences between indoor and outdoor air ozone concentrations, Weschler [6] has estimated that indoor exposures to ozone are typically 45% to 75% of total exposures. Because breathing rates are lower when people are indoors, the indoor inhalation intake of ozone is typically 25% to 60% of total ozone intake. These estimates may be low for the population most affected by ozone—infants, the elderly, and those with respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Consequently, if there is no threshold concentration for the health effects of ozone, or if the threshold is low, roughl...
Although there are indoor sources of ozone, in most buildings indoor ozone has been transported from outdoors (Weschler 2000). Indoor ozone concentrations track outdoor concentrations with a slight time lag that depends on the air exchange rate. Ozone is removed by indoor surfaces as well as by gas-phase reactions, and hence, indoor concentrations tend to be smaller than co-occurring outdoor levels.
If you are TRULY worried, you should be focused on eliminating ozone, right?

You would be slipping into people's threads and sharing these cheap DIY activated carbon builds, right?

Because if you are TRULY concerned about ozone, you would not be slipping into threads of people showing pictures of their new FAR-UVC Torches - for any other reason, but to share the good word that the miniscule ozone generated could be eliminated.

VIRUS and OZONE free air.

ACH ACPH - Air Exchanges per Hour.

An important topic since way before 2020, but given fresh vigor with our collective interest in clean air. Not just disease free air, but VOC, PFA, microplastic, mold, UFP, PM 1, PM 2.5, etc.

The outside air will infiltrate inside.

🧵
That ☝️picture is not typical.

Typical ACH - there can be general estimates, but every house is different. You can determine your own, as shown by @jljcolorado with help 👇👇. Jump to the section shown 👇.

I am grateful for input and suggestions on this topic from Andy Persily, Shelly Miller, Dustin Poppendiek, Ty Newell, Rich Corsi, Bill Bahnfleth, and Jeff Siegel.
The thread about that article is here. Some excellent discussion on it by some very good scientists, including those Dr. Jimenez acknowledges. Those folks are also on Xitter.
