Starting 2023 as I mean to go on Image
Building more #CorsiRosenthalBoxes Image
Because at a price of £174, and a Clean Air Delivery Rate of 585m3 per hour on the lowest setting… a CR Box blasts most commercial air cleaners out of the water Image
And because no variant, not even the Kraken #XBB15, can evolve to beat an air filter. Or a well-fitting respirator. No variant can spread via Zoom. There are many things we can do to stop Covid causing more death and disability. We should be doing more of them. Happy 2023! Image

🙏🙏 Thanks to all your amazing donations (£3,512!), encouragement, and support - today I delivered my last #CorsiRosenthalBox to a family just in time for Christmas. It got me thinking about what we've achieved over the last 3 months... A monster thread🧌🧵1/24 Image
It all started in late summer, when @PeteUK7 sent me the kit to make a #CorsiRosenthalBox 2/
Not long after, people suggested I should set up a Go Fund Me to build more... 3/

I have 3 children (I know: yawn 🥱). But they’ve all been ill over the last month. Vomiting. Fevers. Headaches. All = time off school (naturally). Our youngest (6 weeks) was admitted to hospital 2 days ago with a fever. It was, frankly, terrifying - and I can’t help feel…
1/
…maybe we should be doing something to reduce the levels of illness we’re seeing? Is anyone doing anything about this? There are schools moving to virtual teaching due to staff absence!

Anyway here are a few things I learned following a trip to hospital with our 6-week old…

A&E is heaving. Doctors at their wits’ end. Completely overwhelmed. We had to sit in a corridor because there were no seats in A&E. Everyone crammed together. Coughing. Crying. Barely any pandemic lessons learned, it seems.

Soon I’ll have no money left for #corsirosenthalboxes! Requests are coming in thick and fast, and soon I’m going to have to start saying “no”…

⁉️Got me thinking though: why the surge in interest…?
A thread 🧵 1/

On 24th November 2022 (time stamping for future ref), the Department for Education (@educationgovuk) wrote to all their mailing list members (Local Authorities and signed-up schools). They stressed the importance of ventilation to tackle Covid and flu in schools this winter👇 2/
In this email, the DfE confirmed they are reopening their programme for FREE air cleaning units - which they endorse for classrooms where good ventilation has proven difficult to achieve. I think this is driving a renewed interest in clean air in schools

UK GOES IT ALONE… (with 🇸🇪) || In September 2022 the @ECDC_EU published a detailed, country-by-country report on Covid vaccination strategies across Europe. The UK is doing it differently… A short thread 🧶
1/
First: see this map. UK is in grey because we’ve turned our backs on Europe - worse still, we’ve not just decided to go it alone geopolitically and economically but, it seems, medically as well👇
2/
…because, as of September, the Covid vaccine programme for children ended for those turning 5 from now on. They can’t get it unless clinically vulnerable or living with someone who is. This makes us an outlier in Europe where nearly everyone else is vaccinating ALL (bar 🇸🇪)

As expected - now my campaign for clean air in #Somerset schools blows up (ha), I am coming under fire in all directions. Important, I think, to clarify a few things. A 🧵…

1️⃣ It’s not “my idea” and I didn’t just make it up. I’m quite literally standing on the shoulders of giants. Namely doctors and scientists in the 🇺🇸 like @JimRosenthal4 and @CorsIAQ; as well as @rhysthomas, @PeteUK7 and others in the 🇬🇧
