Look at your deodorant while putting it on your armpit tomorrow morning.

Look at your ozone-producing ionizing air cleaner and photocopier when you go into the office.

They combine to produce
Ultra Fine Particles that you inhale, and then they migrate to every organ.

🧵 Perfume spray.
Man spraying on deodorant.
Right off the bat? The non-ozone producing #corsirosenthalbox, does remove UFPs AND volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

So should any HEPA.

BUT.

You will inhale them because your body has a thermal plume from your body.

Sorry for the long setup. You need to read this,
but I did not want to be click-baity.

So, deodorant, hand lotion, body spray, perfume, spray shampoo - and most likely anything that has a fragrance produces VOCs.

"Monoterpenes, in particular, are known to react with ozone inside, forming secondary organic aerosols (SOAs)." Personal hygiene products, including roll-on deodorant, hand lotion, body spray, perfume and spray shampoo, contain an amalgamation of over 200 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which then react with ozone in the air to form other potentially dangerous chemicals, according to a new paper in the journal Environmental Science & Technology Letters.
Personal care products contain a large cocktail of VOCs, including monoterpenes, acetaldehyde, siloxanes, alcohols, and alkanes. perfume spraying Stock image of a person spraying perfume. Personal care products like perfume, hair spray and hand lotion can release volatile chemicals that may react with ozone to other compounds.
Your fragrant ________ (insert Old Spice, Axe Body Spray, No. 5 Chanel, etc,), produces VOCs. They hit ozone and react. Turn into aerosols.

That clump up into UFPs. And your thermal body plume carries up for you to breathe them in.

Size illustration below. When using the PCPs in the presence of indoor ozone, these reactive VOCs underwent oxidation reactions to form a variety of gas-phase oxidized vapors and led to rapid new particle formation (NPF) events with particle growth rates up to ten times higher than outdoor atmospheric NPF events," the researchers wrote.
SARSCOV2 virus is 100 nm.
Is it me, Mr. Clean Air, just freaking out?

You judge - here are the scientists.

It IS difficult to hear that.

But it has to hit ozone, right? Where does THAT come from? "I know this is difficult to hear, but we're going to have to reduce our reliance on these products, or if possible, replace them with more natural alternatives that contain fragrant compounds with low chemical reactivity," Licina said. "Another helpful measure would be to raise awareness of these issues among medical professionals and staff working with vulnerable groups, such as children and the elderly."
Some definitely comes from outside. But that is short-lived, albeit, if it's always coming in ?

But ionizing air cleaners produce a ton of ozone - whether in-duct or portable air cleaners.

I know there will be a ton of questions. I think
. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…Highlighting ionizing air cleaners because they produce ozone.
The average outdoor ozone concentration in a day tended to be low in the morning and at night and high at noon. During the year, it tended to be high in spring and summer and low in autumn and winter. The half-life was usually between 7 and 10 min for ozone indoors, which has a relationship with surface removal rate and air exchange rate. Fadeyi [19] proposed that the contribution of ozone air purification equipment with a high ozone emission rate to indoor concentration could easily exceed that of outdoor ozone.
the most common ones will be....

How to tell if my product has monoterpenes? If it has a fragrance, it probably does.

How to tell how much ozone is there?

They sell Ozone Detectors on Amazon.

But, cheap may not be best.

Here's a good article, but

@richardhirschs1

I'll answer in detail. Replies restricted to just you and me so you don't get dogpiled.

Do we think HCWs mean harm to ourselves, or our community?

No.

Do I think HCWs cause inadvertent harm to themselves and their community?

Unfortunately, yes.

Why is it not public policy for everyone to mask up in public if it is of significant personal/public benefit (like seatbelts)?

A multifold answer.

The N95 technology is a recent invention. By the time it was invented, droplets were thought to be the primary mode of
transmission.

If it's just droplets, then simply covering your mouth when coughing/sneezing and staying home suffices - plus thoroughly washing your hands.

During this time, there were no viruses that showed extremely quick mutations - so vaccinations were more efficacious.

I am LIVID AT HARRIS as a Democrat.

@realLandsEnd of @DeathPanel_- I am dying to hear your take on this answer by Harris.

Setup:
Martha is 62. Homeless.

In 2020, she caught Covid (causes heart issues), had a heart attack and then was diagnosed with LongCovid.

/1
Martha had to apply for Social Security Disability.

HAS BEEN WAITING FOR 3 YEARS FOR A DECISION.

But she wants to know how will Harris help people who are disabled get health insurance to get medical care.

(While there is no cure for LC, doctors can help with symptoms.)

/2
Harris pushed to get LongCovid recognized by the ADA as a disability.

Which makes them eligible for disability benefits.

EXCEPT THE ADA has NOTHING to do with getting us DISABILITY BENEFITS.

It is only about giving them ACCESS on a one by

Yet a bit more evidence for the transmitted by airborne aerosols from people directly involved in the H5N1 situation in California.

More airborne I do here:

/1 x.com/susrust/status…Heat stress is always a problem in dairy cattle here in California,” he said. “So you take that, you add in this virus, which does have some affinity for the respiratory tract ... we always see a little bit of snotty noses and heavy breathing in animals that are affected ... and for some of them, just the stress takes them.” Indeed, most of the deaths are not directly the result of the virus, he said, but are “virus adjacent.” For instance, he has seen a lot of bacterial pneumonia, which is likely the result of the cow’s depressed immune system, as well as bloat.
Hitting 50-60% of the herd- and higher. Higher!

Serology testing to determine a better estimation of spread is rare or non-existent.

/3 They’re also noticing the virus is affecting larger percentages of herds — in some cases 50%-60% of the animals. This is much more than the 10% that had been previously reported. Some say the actual rate may be even higher. “I would speculate infection is even higher; 50-60% are showing clinical signs due to heat stress or better herd monitoring earlier in infection. Unfortunately, few or no herds have been assessed retrospectively through serology testing to determine actual infection rates,” said John Korslund, a retired U.S. Department of Agriculture veterinarian epidemiologist.
Before, reported production loss was 5-10%.

"Cows are also not returning to 100% production after they’ve cleared the virus, said Beal. Instead, he and others say it’s closer to 60%-70%."

That needs further study. Is that every symptomatic animal?

Because that could

"You can't salt the vibes."

Feeling this one today.

A dear friend was finally able to get back enough strength in her hand to answer my phone call.

We don't talk Covid.

She has very little strength in the left side of her body after a stroke a few (?) months ago.
We don't talk Covid.

She can barely walk to the curb - with a cane.

@nick_coatsworth has been punching down on poor senior citizens and public school teachers, parents, and children for a very long time.

A thread on Nick Coatsworth that is going to eviscerate him by showing you his hypocrisy and the clean air of his upper class background.

We don’t need to breathe HEPA filtered air. Not in offices, not in schools, not in restaurants. This isn’t about clean air, it’s about over-engineering facilities at the behest of a lobby group that stands to benefit significantly from that investment. That’s called rent-seeking

In this excellent article by @liammannix, we find @nick_coatsworth attacking clean air for public (poor) aged care AND schools.

We all despise hypocrisy.

You see, Nick is hosting a show "Do you want to

Unprotected Risk Assessments are OUT, killed by Covid's 60% presymptomatic transmission.

UNIVERSAL FFP3 AND FFP2/ N95 are IN.

Dr. Ritchie, head of UK IPC tried to defend unprotected risk assessments in the UK COVID INQUIRY. It did NOT go well.

Here is the first half.

/1
Here is the second half 👇.

Unfortunately, the lawyer did not focus on presymptomatic transmission.

There are numerous studies that put presymptomatic transmission at 58-60%. Here are just two of them.



aimspress.com/article/id/658…
jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
It is hard to square the 60% no-symptom-transmission (meaning no coughing/ sneezing so no droplets from those), with Dr. Ritchie's position that the primary form of transmission is droplets and contact.

The lawyer is understandably taken back. Me too.
