More on ventilation to prevent the spread of COVID-19

Welcome to our 🧵on clean indoor air! Each Monday we’ll post threads about indoor air quality (IAQ) and its significance to health. We’ll cover the composition of air, how to measure harmful elements, and how to improve unhealthy indoor air. 1/6#IAQ #IndoorAir #AirQuality pic.twitter.com/eZU7QuzM7y

Excellent support for the use of air cleaners (HEPA and #CorsiRosenthalBox) to increase the ventilation rate. It is pretty simple. “Distribute + Dilute + Remove“ to decrease both short-range and long-range transmission. https://t.co/zlnv2RNxmq

It is past time to take steps to clean indoor air. Humans take 22,000 breaths per day. Air is the #1 exposure route to all pollution and pathogens. Why are we not taking the necessary steps to clean indoor air? Public health benefits will extend well beyond COVID-19.(4/4)

Throughout the epidemic, there have been efforts to make this about personal responsibility—started w masking/distancing—> get vaxx —> ‘you do you’

While we were left to solve an epidemic as individuals, where were the efforts at improving systems, such as upgrading ventilation?

It's time to pay attn to indoor air quality, much like we do for outdoor air, or water. We spend 90% of our time indoors, and clean air is essential for our health and wellbeing. With thanks to @linseymarr @j_g_allen @CorsIAQ @kprather88 and @WBahnfleth https://t.co/P3JQTSDTQU

A century ago, a well-ventilated building was considered good medicine. But by the time Covid-19 arrived, our buildings could barely breathe. How do we let the fresh air back in? https://t.co/uag2YxfSYd

I went to the Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl Celebration – 2/5/13

I went to the celebration at M&T Bank Stadium after the Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII. I live close to the stadium so I walked there. I stood on the field. The podium was at one end. I stood in the back at the other end where it was much less crowded. I could see everything on the big screens and could hear everything too. The celebration started late but nobody cared. We were all too happy and excited. The big screen showed the players as they showed up at the stadium.

The celebration was brief. Only 4 or 5 people spoke. Then they showed highlights as everyone filed out of the stadium.

The Orioles have revived a tomato-growing tradition

Orioles manager Earl Weaver and groundskeeper Pat Santarone grew tomatoes at Memorial Stadium starting in 1970.

This tradition was just revived at Camden Yards.

The origin of the tomato plant at Camden Yards extends back when the competitive spirit of manager Earl Weaver met the expertise of groundskeeper Pasquale “Pat” Santarone in the 1960s. https://t.co/aBd5IFpITO

Our favorite Earl Weaver is not Tirade Earl or Beer and a Cigarette Earl, but Gardener Earl, who maintained a friendly rivalry—aka The Tomato Wars—with #Orioles groundskeeper Pasquale “Pat” Santarone, over who cultivated the best crop of tomatoes every summer at Memorial Stadium. pic.twitter.com/APLmRAICuH

I hope the Red Line is revived

Baltimore’s Metro Red Line would’ve been near completion by now if it hadn’t been cancelled by the Governor, resulting in a huge loss of economic opportunity. I hope the next Governor will revive this project & I look forward to partnering w/ him to do so. https://t.co/Wy7n7YlaN7

What could have been.
Happened upon the timeline for the Red Line in Baltimore.
Could have been built by now.
Got the commitment from the feds–$900 mil.
Then. June 2015.

Bambi is 80

I believeI saw Bambi at Radio City Music Hall when I was young. It was probably about 15 years old then.

Bambi turns 80 years old today? Oh deer! 🥲

When I was young, I loved the recording narrated by Shirley Temple.

The history of the ice cream cone

The history of the ice cream cone is complicated

I was today years old when I found out that the ice cream cone was invented by Syrian-American immigrant Ernest Hamwi who, while making zalabiyeh next to an ice cream stand, suggested they combine forces. He opened the Missouri Cone Company in 1910.
