Cleaner Air and Less Covid-19

Remember during the pandemic when everyone was building filters out of box fans? In this video from 60 minutes, we revisit that topic and talk about how cleaner indoor air could be a huge game changer for slowing down infection of Covid-19 and many other diseases.

Indoor air quality has been a problem for centuries. Experts have been complaining about poor indoor air quality for at least 20 years. Part of the recent “gas stove” controversy online had to do with the gases produced by gas cooking. I have kept air filters in my home for years because of asthma and allergy issues. I can say that I do tend to get less sick than many other people. Airplanes are known to have air issues, and the airlines rushed out new filtration systems during the pandemic. Retrofitting buildings with quality air filtration will cost billions, and so far no one is willing to pay despite the benefits.
