So much of what you’ve said is wrong. Not saying you’re a terrible human being, but what we know about these things is still, unfortunately, not settled. Can you give citations for

1. Air purifiers don’t filter the air evenly (commercial ones since that’s the context). 2. Social distancing indoors is doing most of the work (ie is almost all that’s needed to stop the spread). 3. The virus isn’t free-floating live in the classroom



no, but you’re welcome to present your own perspective and rationale for discussion. research is ongoing, but we certainly have enough time and information to form and debate hypotheses by now.

for instance, this study did not link air filtration to a reduction in transmission, only that a hepa+uv filter can reduce sars-cov-2 from known aerosolized air, basically an expected result in a controlled study (not “real-world”, as claimed).
