In addition to this knowledge, my appeal is to protect you & yours:

Wear an #N95 respirator around indoor and outdoor crowds.

Clean your indoor air in each room with #HEPA filters or make your own #CorsiRosenthalBox.

Get your non-MRNA #Novavax shot or an #MRNA. I’ve had both. I have experienced far fewer side effects from Novavax.

Test often with #Metrix or #CueHealth since they are the most reliable & accurate.

Use #FarUV lights in each room.

“Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere?”
A sensible article examining the promise and trade-offs of 222nm UV #FarUV
Including quotes from @jljcolorado

Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere?

Can special lightbulbs end the next pandemic before it starts?

“It’s right more often than wrong"

That's the point, no, it's not necessarily.
Certainly not depending on *when* you test.

People *may* be taught to test correctly, but they very clearly don't now, and I'm more than skeptical that they would. Especially given that people only get 8 free/household.

"it's the best we have”

It's not. You can use PCR.

And if you follow best practices (#WearAMask, #Filter, #FarUV) then it almost doesn't matter if someone else is contagious.

@gwensnyder
The other practical thing you could potentially do is bring in a far-UV light. That would be immediately germicidal and not impede the hospital workers.
Unfortunately they’re not cheap.

Welcome article on the benefits of far-UV:

“Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere?”

Good question…

For anyone interested in far-UV products, I’ve been happy with the ones I’ve got from http://uv-can .com (remove the space). They’re currently not cheap, but not too bad compared with filters. And a good insurance policy.

“Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere?”

Great question that some have been asking for a couple of years

https://apple.news/AoERMQ7HsTVaLoPcTMm6IAA

(Sorry, seems only to be available in Apple News at the moment)

For anyone interested, products from https://uv-can.com seem good. I got a couple of these:

https://uv-can.com/collections/far-uv-222nm-disinfection/products/delphi-far-uv-222nm-industrial-disinfection-light?variant=42477163479266

though would probably now get these:

https://uv-can.com/collections/far-uv-222nm-disinfection/products/gerani-far-uv-light

Not cheap, but a start.

I noticed they have a similar product available for pre-order too that's a little less “industrial”:

I don't understand why some people are against #AirFiltration
and #FarUV for protection against #Covid.

Apart from anything else, it's not like the mitigations are difficult to do or in any way intrusive after they're done
And they're beneficial for far more than "just" Covid
I really don't see why anyone would object, other than plain fuckwittery
