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!

@TheAtlantic @danengber Heh - I suspect Mr. Engber has been eavesdropping on my (and my fellow Covid Conscious) swimming safer threads. I have a new solution for showering safer for that I will be rolling out tomorrow.

For future articles by those who will come along, let me point out a few things /+
@TheAtlantic @danengber Thank you very much for pointing out that 4% of America is still masking 100% of the time! That is 13.2 million Americans.

The Masking Nation is larger than 38 states. :)

But, 18% of us masking some of the time in the SAME PEW POLL (tch tch). You would think that would be/+ At a basic level, their COVID-conscious attitudes may not be so far from the mainstream. Twenty-one percent of Americans still think of the disease as “a major threat” to public health, according to a recent poll from Pew Research Center. Thirty-nine percent say we’re not “taking it seriously enough.” But if 50 million to 100 million adults harbor such concerns, very few are doing much about them. Masking rates were once as high as 88 percent; now they’re close to nil. For those who still maintain their masking habit—4 percent, says Pew—the whiplash in social norms has been a shock.
@TheAtlantic @danengber be mentioned, @TaylorLorenz, by Mr. Engber, since 18% lines up pretty closely to the 21% still worried that Covid is a big deal (it is) - that he mentioned.

And suddenly, Masking Nation has 59.4 million residents. We are the largest state. Canada /+

This may be one of the most important studies in a decade.

#LongCovidBinder.

"The models produced correctly classified those with severe ME/CFS from recovered controls with an accuracy of 97%, sensitivity of 94%, and specificity of 100%. "

THAT IS HUGE.
"We found that at Stage 1, those fated to develop ME/CFS 6 months following IM had low levels of IL-5 and IL-13 [25]. " We found that at Stage 1, those fated to develop ME/CFS 6 months following IM had low levels of IL-5 and IL-13 [25]. IL-5 enhances the production of B1 cells which are anti-inflammatory (impaired B1 cells have been found in multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis), and IL-13 has anti-inflammatory properties. Jason et al. [26] also found that students who failed to recover from IM had more restricted, inflexible cytokine networks whereas those who recovered had more flexible, less interconnected networks. Network analysis suggests that IL-5 and IL-13 influe...
So, this means ME/CFS can be predicted.

And what can be predicted - treatments can be found.

And they are studying LongCovid as well.

This study is easy to read, And everyone should.

A new study just showed what I have been saying since the start of bird flu. H5N1 is airborne.

Still in place?
USDA: YOU ONLY NEED TO TEST LACTATING COWS.

oops.

USDA: FOMITES (infectious objects) SPREAD IT.

oops.

WASHING YOUR HANDS WILL STOP IT.

oops. This new Federal Order does not override or supersede USDA's April 24 Federal Order, which still requires the mandatory testing of lactating dairy cows prior to interstate shipment and requires that all privately owned laboratories and state veterinarians report positive test results connected with those tests. The new Federal Order announced today is intended to complement and enhance this existing order.
Question [00:51:52]  Given the CDC's vaccination program, I'm wondering if this means you think it's no longer realistic to expect that the outbreak will be contained this year?  Eric Deeble, USDA [00:52:12]  Just on the animal side and all that Dr. Nirav speak to the human side, there's a lot about this disease that makes us feel as if we can arrest its progress.  And we've actually seen some success demonstrated to date.  With this disease, it does not appear to move by respiratory transmission. We know that there are high viral loads in milk, and we've identified through close, collabora...
In addition to testing, biosecurity is the key to containing this virus, and ultimately ensuring that it is eradicated so that producers do not have to deal with this virus in dairy cattle permanently. Good biosecurity including cleaning and disinfection of vehicle and equipment - is critical to minimizing the risk of disease spread. USDA works closely with state animal health official, producers, and industry organizations to provide guidance and resources for cleaning and disinfection not only on affected farms but for all livestock producers as a part of practicing good biosecurity. APHI...
The study.

✅ 20% of the cows showed up as sick. Had symptoms. But....

✅ It turns out that 89.4% were actually infected.

✅ 83.7% of those had no symptoms. Remind you of any other airborne diseases?

✅ 40.5% of the dry cows not being milked? Infected. So, no Image

fomites or milk aerosols involved, most likely.

There is not much that scares me. Freaks me out.

I am freaking out.

You should be, too.

Do you know what this shows?

Do you know how to avoid this? Holy cow.
This is the continued accumulation of dementia-causing microplastics in your brain. Simple linear regression (shown with 95% CI represented by dashed lines) was performed for total plastics, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and styrene-butadiene rubber measured in normal decedent brains from 2004 (average of east coast samples), 2016 and 2024 (NM OMI samples).
See how it increased from 2016 to 2024?

And it actually is worse - they found less plastics in brains from a decade earlier.

Great interview of Ed Yong - I am just covering the C0V1D part.

/1 The Interview  Ed Yong Wants to Show You the Hidden Reality of the World  Ed standing with his arms folded.  His eyes tell you COVID is not over.
You've been clear in saying that C0V1D has not gone away. You ask people to wear masks at your events..... You’ve been clear in saying that Covid has not gone away. You ask people to wear masks at your events. But that attitude is not necessarily where the rest of the world is. How do you think about continuing to take precautions and advising others to do so when it feels as if society has moved on? I do it for a bunch of reasons. Firstly, I have learned that I enjoy not being sick. I know that the cost of long Covid is real and substantial, and I don’t want to run that risk lightly.
"I think it makes a huge difference to them to have the person at the front of the stage wear a mask. It tells them, It’s not weird." . I also know that I have many friends and people I’m close to who are immunocompromised. So for the sake of the people around me, I also don’t want to get sick. When I do events, I wear a mask for those reasons, and because I know that every time I do a talk, while the vast majority of people in the audience have probably moved on, there are going to be other people who haven’t. I think it makes a huge difference to them to have the person at the front of the stage wear a mask. It tells them, It’s not weird. So I do it for that reason, too. In terms of holding this line at a point when a l...

I am sorry if this will upset you. A lot of people depend on NASAL SPRAYS for C0V1D.

I have been iffy on them, but viewed them as "if they don't hurt, why not" but not for me.

There's an analysis
on Reddit that you should read in detail, and make up your own mind.
/1
Here is the link:


Here is a 4 tweet TLDR version.

Here is how it starts - the author goes HARD at the underlying studies. reddit.com/r/ZeroCovidCom…There is no convincing evidence that nasal sprays prevent COVID-19  There is a lot of misinformation out there about nasal sprays preventing COVID-19. Unfortunately, there are no convincing studies showing that nasal sprays prevent COVID-19. The published studies investigating whether or not nasal sprays prevent COVID-19 each have major issues, which I will detail here.  I have a PhD in biochemistry and one of my PhD projects was on COVID-19. The main takeaway of this post is that there is no sound evidence that nasal sprays prevent COVID-19. Thus, nasal sprays should not be used for COVID-...
Some pretty harsh language, but to me the important thing is we still have clean air.

Which is good, because it boils down to only 2 studies saying that nasal sprays work, per them. 5. Summary/TLDR and final thoughts  Unfortunately, many people including covid influencers have fallen for the grift of nasal sprays preventing COVID-19. Some such influencers have promoted these nasal sprays for free and helped spread the misinformation that they prevent COVID-19. Unlike with nasal sprays, there is ample, sound evidence that high-quality well-fitting respirators, ventilation and air purification prevent COVID-19.  The human clinical trials testing whether or not nasal sprays prevent COVID-19 are garbage, and to my knowledge there are only two! Please don't lower your covid...
