🇨🇦 you have a gem here!
Shiven Taneja
My robotics team and I started 2024 by building 10 #CorsiRosenthalBoxes for OHCOWclinics. These boxes are for migrant farmers who live in poorly ventilated indoor spaces. Thank you 3MCanada for donating 24 filters and EquityBuilders 🇨🇦 for the $1,000 cheque.

It also goes to show that for all we're told about the promise of #capitalist innovation, #capitalism is incapable for innovating. Instead of solving the #ClimateCrisis or inventing new #CleanAir solutions to protect us from #covid, capitalism implores us to shop, consume and travel like it's 2019! Pretend #LongCovid isn't real. Ignore the #wildfire smoke polluting air across the globe! Capitalism has no solutions, other than own consolidation into #fascism to protect our dwindling resources for the wealthy and powerful while the rest of us get sicker and poorer.

I've seen small scale communities with collective values try to mitigate these problems. I've seen #CovidCautious groups organize outdoor, masked gatherings and make and donate #CorsiRosenthalBoxes. I've seen #ClimateChange activists successfully advocate for local solar and wind solutions. #AnotherWorldIsPossible, but it won't come through capitalism.

@cleanairkits I was going to send my son back to public school in fall 2022 - to the public, project-based, small middle school nearby that has rave reviews - but wanted to build #CorsiRosenthalBoxes for them. Crickets. Homeschool it was, then! Two years later, I'm so glad. I didn't have the spoons to fight it, but we're all happier this way. #KhanAcademy and #Duolingo for the #homeschool (and health) win. #CamasWA

@rjblaskiewicz @QuickWeasel Love my #CorsiRosenthalBoxes

I’m now wanting to experiment with the CR boxes made from the multiple PC fans. Have you seen the “chandelier” ones for over the dining table?

Well, we now know how to stop #airborne #pandemics.

(#CovidIsAirborne; #FluIsAirborne)

We stop it with #HEPA filters, #CorsiRosenthalBoxes. And with #N95 / #N99 / #P100 #elastomeric #respirator #masks.

But right now DOCTORS are blithely mass-infecting patients -- and of course nowhere else is doing anything either -- so our society is basically doing nothing and helping the virus spread.

We should try doing something.

I get really terrible PSAs from government agencies on my Facebook feed.

I comment on all of them telling them they need to talk about how #CovidIsAirborne, #InfluenzaIsAirborne, #RSVIsAirborne, it's stopped by #N95, #N99, #P100 masks, #HEPA filters, #CorsiRosenthalBoxes, and I drop a link to https://its-airborne.org .

Maybe I'll reach someone. I'm now doing more public health work than the CDC, WHO, or the state health department, which is ridiculous.

COVID-19 Aerosol Transmission - evidence! | It's Airborne!

Evidence for the aerosol nature of COVID-19 transmission

3/ Then! Send each family a kit to make a corsi rosenthol box: 4xMERV13 filters, a box fan, duct tape. Takes 60 min or less to build, costs less than $30. Can reuse by adding new filters. Works for ALL air pollution: wildfire smoke, mold, pollen, dust, germs & #COVID.

“This is a very important study done by researchers at the CDC on #corsirosenthalboxes and other DIY air cleaners. It found that they reduce aerosols by up to 73%. It is very meaningful to have this independent confirmation of effectiveness. https://t.co/M8ScdBkbDj”

What I say is "We have the tools -- the tools are #N95 and #P100 #elastomeric #respirators, #HEPA filters and #CorsiRosenthalBoxes. They only work if we use them."

After three years of covering covid, I built my own air filter

I am not a handy person and even I can DIY this indoor air filter. See how I made a Corsi-Rosenthal Box.
