Do you know what to do to protect yourself if someone in your household gets #covid ?

Plan now. There's a surge going on & if you're ready, you won't have to think too much.What I would do/have done:

1. #N95 on everyone in shared spaces
2. 15+ min w/window open between shared space usage
3. Air cleaners/ #CorsiRosenthal boxes
4. Stay/eat in bedroom
5. Towel rolled at bottom of door
6. Window cracked, attached bathroom fan on
7. Mouthwash w/CHC
8. Central air/heat off

@SocialJusticeHeals

Other comment makes me want to scream.

I'm sure you're taking precautions just in case you haven't been infected, but just in case you haven't... DO! Masks in shared areas, windows, fans, #CorsiRosenthal box or air cleaner, towel rolled at bottom of door, mouthwash with CHC,. It might not be too late! Hope it's not. #LongCovid is a bitch.

Both #CorsiRosenthal #fan boxes deployed in a domestic emergency, involving burning honey and chili peppers, LOL. (of course, I had to clean up the mess, which was not mine). I think the CR boxes would work in an accidental pepper spray deployment.

There's a pretty useful air filter recommendation tool:
https://filters.cleanairstars.com/ It even includes filter replacement cost, which can be a surprise when it's comes time.

Or you can #DIY & make your own #CorsiRosenthal box:
https://cleanaircrew.org/box-fan-filters/

If you live in an apt with a shared hallway, you might want to just keep a rolled up towel at the bottom of your door, and crack your window if possible to bring in fresh air (unless there's wildfire smoke! 😳) Hope this helps!

@theplace2be213

Probably but it depends on the size of your apt. including how high your ceiling is. 5-6 ACH (Air Changes per Hour) is generally recommended. Then there's noise level you're willing to put up with & finally cost.

The Clean Air Crew ( https://cleanaircrew.org/ )
is a great resource.

They have an air cleaner buying guide: https://cleanaircrew.org/air-cleaners/ with some good do's & don'ts.

Holy cow!

#WesternWashington is waking up to #smoke levels from #EasternWashington & #BritishColombia #wildfires that have pretty much *doubled* since yesterday.

Stay inside when possible.

Use #AirCleaners if you have them. Make a #CorsiRosenthal if you don't

Those #N95s do double duty these days. #MaskUp to keep the smoke particles out as well as #Covid (#CovidIsNotOver)

Check in on older folks & those with #HealthIssues #LungIssues #HeartIssues #LongCovid

Stay safe!

#Seattle #PNW

Smoke season has arrived in #Seattle so now it's #CorsiRosenthal time! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsi%E2%80%93Rosenthal_Box

@cmorris Hi, may I ask what city you are in? Have you thought about building a #DIY air purifier? They are a great help. These days they refer to them as a #corsirosenthal box. Cost, $125 or so. 1.5 hr max to assemble

Day 1,255

#Smoke is getting pretty bad in the #Seattle area.

This is where those #N95 #masks come in handy!

IN FACT, the #FloMask was originally started by a father wanting better protection from the #California #wildfires. (It's what I'm wearing in my profile pic)

Anyway, stay inside, turn air cleaners on if you have them.

If not you can make a #CorsiRosenthal box that's super effective.

Same drill as living through a #Covid #Pandemic #CovidIsNotOver

The air quality has been such crap I made a Corsi-Rosenthal box. One can definitely tell the difference in the room where it’s running. Yay! 😊

#CorsiRosenthal #AirQuality #SelfHelp #DIY

Two #CorsiRosenthal fans going, #FireAlarm blaring... occasion? Wildfire? No. Drift smoke? No. Pandemic? No. My son decided to make #steaks for dinner. #smoky

Just ordered a #CorsiRosenthal box kit - 4x20" Merv-13 filters.
Already have a fan.
Because nature ain't what it used to be.

#Today, thanks to Wave 3 of #wildfire #smoke for the Northeastern #UnitedStates, I am siloed in the only room with a #CorsiRosenthal box. Tried sleeping in the bedroom only to cough, cough, cough.

Looking forward to the air quality reaching “Good” again.

#climateChange #climate

I have had a #CorsiRosenthal box running for 24 hours. I moved the #PM2.5 sensor to an adjacent room from the #CRBox to see how well it can clean a room across the hall.

The low point on the graph is about 8 PPM and this is when the box moved to the bedroom. There was a fairly quick rise in one hour to about 12 ppm and then it slowly built to about 15 or 16 ppm over night.

After the moving the box back downstairs into an adjacent room, the level dropped to 10 ppm in less than an hour.

It seems that a CRBox does a decent job cleaning adjacent rooms.

A low-cost, accessible, and effective air cleaner, the #CorsiRosenthal box is now being used as an open-source approach for reducing exposure to #wildfire smoke

How to build a Corsi-Rosenthal Box

https://youtube.com/watch?v=hIuH-2naozI&feature=share9

Don’t think this new box has enough air exchanges pr hr. I have a big box running, a puny Taotronics and the new one. Photo below. (Using 2 Merv 13 filters cut in half). It can be tricky as you need wire cutters to trim back the wire holding the pleated filters. I had help. Needed some jerryrigging.

I’ll have to buy the more powerful Honeywell fan, hf-910 turboforce. #corsirosenthal

I woke up to the smell of smoke and turned on one #CorsiRosenthal box (green arrow). With my new air quality sensor, I was able to measure just how incredibly effective my home made air filter is.

Looks like they made a #CorsiRosenthal box out of CPU fans. #CovidIsNotOver
