Filtering the air we breathe is potentially life-saving, because #COVIDisAirborne
Portable air filters reduce Covid aerosols. Large 20”x20” #corsirosenthalbox filters are inexpensive DIY for classrooms & offices. Bedrooms & desks benefit from 10”x10”
Watch the first minute of this video from the place this clip starts and think about the air you breathe & who else you share that air with. #COVIDisAirborne
For a deeper look into this idea that #CovidIsAirborne and that’s why it is so transmissible, read this article and be sure to follow:
The 20”x20”x2” #corsirosenthalbox filter is appropriate for open floorplan homes, most classrooms and larger workspaces. Note that you might need more than one. I’ll put a calculator at the end of the thread to help.
The larger box fans are easy to find. The 20” Lasko has a control knob on the front & is at Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon & others. That’s the one I used for this build for classrooms
You’ll find assembly instructions in this thread about that project, and other useful links, too
Protect yourselves and your loved ones. Evidence is growing that taking precautions can protect you, even if Covid winds up in your home if you do your part to make the air you share #CleanerSharedAir#WeAreNotHelpless
Calculating the size filter for a room gets technical & depends on the fan & filters.
The goal is 5-6 air exchanges an hour. VERY roughly (sorry engineers) the 10” unit filters about 200 cu feet a minute, and the 20” about 500 CFM. If close, use 2 units reviewsofairpurifiers.com/cadr-calculato…

Minnesota is often chilly, but the courts cast a terrible frost over elections. Ballots received after Nov 3 may not be counted. Minnesotans are accustomed to hostile conditions, so let’s get those votes cast! #MeetChaosWithAction #VoteBlue2020
This is hard:
-Resisting the GOP's broad swaths of damage;
-Feeling isolated and afraid about their damage to democracy;
-Russia's covert propaganda attacks
-Being isolated by COVID
I'm trying to compartmentalize & focus, going to rooms in my mind to be productive. Here's how:
These mind-rooms include politics, environment, home, gardens, health, relationships and a few others.
Inside each mind-room are the resources I have:
time, money, stuff I own, talents.
It's not crazy. Really. I'll show you.
Let's go into the politics room:
In the politics room, I have $$. Each week I donate at least $10 to help someone or something. Today I'll buy stamps to send letters with a SSE in them to support the Post Office.
This room has time, too, to spend as needed on emails, texts, phone banking. It adds up over time.
This morning I reviewed my calendar & journal. It has made me angry. Not just irritated but 🤬🤬🤬 livid angry at people who treat politics like a game. Politics is life, and lives are literally the price when not taken seriously.
I started following COVID19 on Jan 25. By mid-Feb I had started stocking up on essentials & sharing a spreadsheet to encourage others to also stock up.
I began researching and writing a booklet for friends began late Feb. That booklet was distributed starting the first week of March.
Candidates are interviewing for a job. While contentious moments at the debates stress us, they show how candidates fare under pressure. Watch for non-verbals.
This #WPCM thread will help you discern differences between Dem candidates by looking at the last debate 1/10
We would be remiss not to address Russia whose goal is to splinter our country, now dividing Democrats against Dems. Remember that what unites is is greater than what divides us.
Election security is the first step if election integrity is to be maintained. From Russian hacking & gerrymandering to DFL-only support for legislation, it’s obvious that all must support this cornerstone of democracy.
Candidate views on election security in threads

Isn’t election security a problem of the past?
Not according to an intel report that warns that the Russians are still at it. Yet the GOP says this is an attempt by Dems to seek an advantage.
"Russia's cyber operations have been successful...”

Iowa’s Caucuses relied on the internet, not a best practice. Fortunately, they also had paper back ups, a vital best practice. How’s the integrity of elections in your state compare with the nation? Check this map at Vox. #WPCM#DemCast
