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:


If FAQ is slow:

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.

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. )


Image
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.


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!

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!

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...

Guillain-Barre Syndrome linked to poultry eggs? H5N1?!

The BBC had a good article from February 3 that talks about how these Indian states' cases are linked to campylobacter jejuni, a bacteria. It IS the most common root-cause, globally.

And IT is commonly found in poultry. AVOID CHICKEN AND EGGS RIGHT NOW SIGN showing for the country of India in a tweet from @alwaysmadesh. Due to Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
"Campylobacter jejuni infection is the common associated microorganism (25–40%), followed by cytomegalovirus (6–15%), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (3–21%), and Haemophilus influenzae (1–9%)"

BTW - Cytomegalovirus is also an airborne virus - that just happens to cause brain cancer.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae - also airborne.

And...drum roll please...Campylobacter jejuni also airborne.

Don't get me wrong - jejuni most definitely is also fecal-oral, no question.

But it's also airborne.

Sampled from the air below. Figure 7. GCN/m3 results using microorganism-specific primers. These microorganisms were chosen for their pathogenic and opportunistic nature. Samples 1–12 indicate the WWC collections in House A, 1R–12R the WWC collections in House B and 1F–12F the filter collections in House A.

Just a little bit closer to acknowledging H5N1 is airborne.

3 vets asymptomatic, + for bird flu antibodies. Did not wear respiratory gear or glasses.

Did wear gloves and coveralls - so rules out fomites.

One practicing in states with NO H5N1.

Vets get very close to /1 No seropositive practitioner knew that they were working with dairy cattle with known or suspected HPAI A(H5) infection. None of the seropositive practitioners reported wearing respiratory or eye protection while providing veterinary care to cattle. Neither respiratory or eye protection is recommended when working with uninfected animals in regions without confirmed cases; however, safety goggles and a respirator are recommended when working with uninfected animals in regions where there are confirmed or potentially infected animals (4).
Among 150 bovine veterinary practitioners, three had evidence of recent infection with HPAI A(H5) virus, including one who only practiced in two states (Georgia and South Carolina) with no known HPAI A(H5) virus infection in cattle and no reported human cases (1,2); this practitioner reported no exposures to animals with known or suspected HPAI A(H5) virus infections. These findings suggest that there might be HPAI A(H5) virus–infected dairy cattle in states where infection in dairy cattle has not yet been identified, highlighting the importance of rapid identification of infected dairy cat...
aerosol sources. Aerosol orifices.

This lines up with previous studies.

Reported use of N95 FFRs or other respirators and other types of masks was low (9% and 27%, respectively) among workers exposed to ill cows the week before A(H5N1) outbreaks were d...

Latest Pew Poll.

Or an exercise on "How well did Biden disappear C0V1D?"

On one hand, 21% of Americans still view C0V1D as a major public threat 21% of Americans still view COVID as a major public threat.
On the other hand, still masking?

6% of Democrats
4% Americans
2% Republicans

Guess when Biden took over on the graph? On the other hand, still masking? 6% of Democrats 4% Americans 2% Republicans Guess when Biden took over on the graph?
Yes - pretty much as soon as Biden took over, he began disappearing C0V1D.

BTW, the last poll was by yougov - masking was at 12% last year. On the other hand, still masking? 6% of Democrats 4% Americans 2% Republicans Guess when Biden took over on the graph?

What do we need to do to make every healthcare worker in the world understand that flu is airborne?

Get IPC on board.

Let me introduce you to Dr. Zahir Hirji, President of @IPACCanada at #IPAC2023.

Where do we know him from?

That's a very interesting question.

/1 Image
In 2006, Dr. Tellier wrote an article in the CDC EID explaining that influenza was airborne via aerosols.

Quite nicely done.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC33…
Dr. Zahir Hirji and some other IPC doctors from the Canadian HUGE University Health Network disagreed.

Right back you, Tellier - in 2007.
