How to ensure clean air and make it #DavosSafe 🧵
The full layered approach is vaccines, rapid tests, masks and clean air. I'm focusing here on clean air. The other steps can also be used.

Do as much outside as possible.
The bigger the venue, the better. More space and higher ceilings means better dilution and lower risk.
Your three tools are ventilation, filtration and UV. We'll go through them one by one.

Ventilation:
Find out what you can about the ventilation. Ask if they can increase it during the gathering and ensure it is scheduled properly and not in auto. If there are windows or doors, try to open them. If there are ceiling fans, turn them on.

Would monitoring CO2 help? If you can determine a plan to act on it then it would, but probably not possible to fix anything. CO2 levels are expected to be high even if ventilation is working properly, because of high density and high metabolic rates.

Filtration:
Ask if they can upgrade the filters in the HVAC system to MERV-13.
Blast the place with CR boxes. They are perfect for this application.
A simple formula is 1 box for every 500 sq ft.

UV:
There's one tool that is perfectly designed for this - upper room UV. Here's an example of upper room UV being setup temporarily. Far-UV is better for smaller spaces.

A list of possible suppliers can be found on this page. Ask and see if you can rent. If I was hosting a large gathering, I'd look into renting upper room UV.
Those are your tools. Use them well.
