Have used a #corsirosenthalbox in my studio for 2 years. Healthy students!
1/ If we'd only take inhalation dose of virus-laden aerosols seriously. In Canada - COVID-19 funding/person in 2020 was $770/person (much lower now). COVID-19 fatalities nearly doubled between Oct '21 and Oct '22. Wait for it ....

According to the CDC’s own data, 93.89% of counties in the US are experiencing substantial or high community transmission of COVID. This, of course, is not the map the CDC chooses to share on their own social accounts.
New music 🎶
Out now — @AmWildEnsemble: Duos and Trios The intrepid American Wild Ensemble was formed around a project to perform new works in national parks, and has continued to create exciting events outdoors in unconventional spaces, from caves to mountaintops newfocusrecordings.bandcamp.…
Wow!
Today my employer, @SenecaCollege where I'm a professor, shared details about what the Summer and Fall will look like, with respect to COVID policies, mask and vaccine mandates, etc. A Thread 🧵
This is unreal. Hoping WMU steps up to protect its community.
Michigan reports 17,980 new COVID-19 cases in 2 days, highest 7-day average since start of pandemic bit.ly/326MsfN

I did this pretty easily last year and certainly hope it will help this year. @LauronKehrer this was the thread!
A mega thread on the ultimate DIY air filter known as the Corsi/Rosenthal Box (@CorsIAQ/ @JimRosenthal4). Take it into work. Donate a couple to your school classroom if they'll let you. Illustrations beautifully done by @ughberta, discovered through @kprather88.

Our study showed that performing with musical instruments produced a greater number of airborne particles compared to normal speaking levels and comparable levels to singing and theater performances. Using masks greatly reduced the aerosol concentration measured in front ofsource
One day into in-person classes and my brother has been exposed to an unvaccinated/unmasked student with covid. Now he’s quarantined and waiting to be tested. 🤦🏻‍♀️
The lack of masking at the Kzoo Target ( a high transmission county) is pretty discouraging and frightening for the upcoming semester :/ Stay safe, friends.

This is 100 percent true 😅 Add in the Young and the Restless, Golden Girls and chicken biscuits for me.
Haha! I just saw this on Facebook and had to share it because it is 100% spot on. This described my summers w/ my Grandma … Ms. Bookie. Add that in addition to Days… I also became an aficionado in Young and the Restless & making homemade popsicles w/@koolaid Haha! #Stories
Such an awful tragedy in my hometown. Horrible for all involved.
