If you're having people over to your house for a party, dinner, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or holiday gathering, you may be wondering just what you can do to reduce the transmission of diseases, in case someone (Vaccinated or not) is asymptomatic but carrying a communicable airborne disease, like COVIC.
There are some simple and effective things you can do!
Just put a 20" box fan ($20 at WalMart) in a downstairs window, blowing air in, and another fan in an upstairs window blowing air out.
You can get a 20 in by 20 in furnace filter to put on the outside of the downstairs fan to stop any dirt, pollen, dust or allergens from blowing into the house.
By doing this you are reducing any viral load in the air enormously. Of course, you can add more fans both upstairs and downstairs if your house is large. And if you have a ranch or other one-story dwelling, just do the same thing but with windows at the farthest points.
Of course you can other size fans and filters, to fit your windows best. The more powerful the fan, the better.
If you have a whole house fan, again open windows downstairs or whether the gathering is occurring, and turn on the whole house fan.
Improving ventilation is a safe, proven, reliable method to improve safety from respiratory illnesses.
