1/ If we'd only take inhalation dose of virus-laden aerosols seriously. In Canada - COVID-19 funding/person in 2020 was $770/person (much lower now). COVID-19 fatalities nearly doubled between Oct '21 and Oct '22. Wait for it ....
2/ A reasonable estimate at CA $6/student, just 0.8% of the $770/person a #CorsiRosenthalBox could have been placed in every single classroom in primary and secondary classroom in Canada.
3/ This would have likely reduced children and teacher inhalation dose of virus-laden aerosol particles by 50 to 80% depending on range of typical classroom sizes & CR Box use (air flow, fan).
4/ Cost estimates based on capital costs for materials, cost of replacement materials, and recurring energy costs (all averaged over teh 3 years of the pandemic) and normalized to an annual cost/student.
5/ Benefit estimates based on REAL data (published and soon to be published) on #CorsiRosenthalBox performance.
6/ For more information see - tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
7/ And news.3m.com/2022-02-24-3M-…
9/ And great add-on benefits in terms of reduced exposure to toxic chemicals in air, including #PFAs and #phthalates. excellent work by @JosephMBraun1 & his team @BrownUniversity w/ @robinedodson at @SilentSpringIns. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…
10. No brainer, folks - speaking to you, school districts across Canada & the US (& beyond). Highly accessible (low cost), open source technology that provides educational benefit & significant reduction in inhalation dose of virus-laden respiratory aerosol particles. Just do it!
-10 for grammar. Please insert "for" before "just" and remove "classroom in". It shoudl be "every single priamry and secondary classroom in Canada"
By the way, the total cost to do this would be about $30M/year Canadian.
Even more typDohs! in my correction. Time to take a break. 🙄
